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.

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

The 61-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.
