Mini bio
How it started.
Born in Rabat as Samira Bensaid, Samira was already performing as a child. Her appearance on Moroccan television’s Mawaheb talent show brought her early recognition. She later built her career in Egypt while keeping a close connection to Morocco.
Songs that travelled.
In 1980 she represented Morocco at Eurovision with “Bitakat Hob.” Years later, her 2002 duet “Youm Wara Youm” with Cheb Mami became a defining collaboration, bringing together their voices on an Arabic pop record that helped her reach listeners beyond the region.
Still looking for something new.
Her catalogue includes the album “Ayza Aeesh” and the Moroccan Arabic song “Mazal.” In an eniGma interview, she described renewal as central to her work. She also discussed judging the television talent show Sout Al Haya and her attachment to her Moroccan roots.
