Samira Said, The Rock Star Who We Miss



For a Moroccan to make a career in music it seems easy. But it was never so in the 80s when she kicked off her career. Luckily she has friends who wanted to help her, but nothing helped her shine more than her vocals. They are very flexible and she welcomes any new idea.

Samira has sang Tarab songs, then she moved to the 80s romance, and she ruled that genera. But in the 90s she moved to pop and kept rocking the jukeboxes and radios around Arabia. But she is nowhere to be seen lately. She does not give press or concerts. As far as I know she remains in Egypt.

I remember her slow songs, she had her Whitney Houston moments as she has dabbled into various styles, and duets. Tragically, Samira is a star if you have not grown listening to, chances are you are not going to enjoy her music--not the older work anyway.
