Said performed the song for the first time at her first-ever live virtual concert, which took place Thursday on popular video application, “TikTok“.

The singer’s latest artistic work is performing the theme song of Egyptian actress, Riham Hagag’s TV series “Lama Kona Soghiren” (When we were little), which premiered last Ramadan.

Said had also performed an operetta entitled “Enta Aqwa”, which also features a group of Egypt’s and Arab world’s prominent singers such as “The King” Mohamed Mounir, Tamer Hosny, Carole Samaha, Wael Jassar, and Saber Rebaï, who donated their wages to the families of the coronavirus victims.

Enta Aqwa is by the lyrics of Dr. Medhat El-Adl, composed by Amr Mostafa, distributed by Nader Hamdi, and Palestinian-American film director, Tarek Al Eryan, will direct the operetta.

The operetta is sending a humanity message in an attempt to uplift people’s spirits amid the coronavirus pandemic.

It is worth mentioning that Said, born January 10, 1958, is a Moroccan-Egyptian Arabic pop singer who is widely known in the Arab World. She is dubbed as ‘pa’ by her fans.

The pa began singing at the age of nine and was discovered in a music program “Mawaheb” broadcast on Royal Moroccan TV, and later on, she moved to Egypt where her fame around the Arab world began.

She holds dual nationality of Morocco and Egypt; the latter is her resident home as she moved to Cairo back in 1977.

Said is known for singing “Ben Leef”, “Sayidati Sadati”, “Malich Enwan”, “Akher Hawa”, “Hawa Hawa”, “Bel Salama”, “Ayza Aish”, “Kan Mali”, “Youm Wara Youm”, “Aal bal”, and others.

The pa has produced more than 20 albums and won more than 40 awards.

She mainly sings in Egyptian Arabic, cooperating with many Cairo musicians and composers.

The 62-year-old superstar spearheaded concerts to draw people together after the 2006 riots in immigrant suburbs across France, and to bring about solidarity between all religions.

In 2017, veteran actress and TV host, Esaad Younis hosted the prominent singer in a Christmas special in her program “Sahibet Al-Saada” broadcast on “CBC” Channel, in December.

During the episode, she revealed that the decision to retire is not far from the future plan, after presenting a long history full of many successes.

“When I settle in my native country, Morocco, I would have already decided to retire, to enjoy a private life with my son Shady and my family,” Said added.

In 2019, the Moroccan superstar was a judge on the Arabic version of “The Voice” Season 5, along with Ahlam, Mohamed Hamaki, and Ragheb Alama.

The Arabic version of “The Voice” returned for its Season 5th on September 21, which is hosted by Jeddah-based presenter Yasser Al-Saqqaf and Nareen Faraj.

“The Voice: Ahla Sawt” is the Arabic version of the Dutch show “The Voice”, which debuted from Beirut on September 14, 2012.

The show has three stages: the blind auditions, the battle rounds, and the live performances.
