Warda Al-Jazairia, the Arab music princess, was born on July 22, 1939, in Paris to an Algerian-Lebanese family. She began singing in her childhood under the guidance of Tunisian composer Sadiq Thouraya. She was discovered by musician Mohamed Abdel Wahab, and her fame rose after her collaboration with Abdel Wahab and her presence in Egypt, where she performed famous songs such as "Leabat El-Ayam" ("The Games of Days") and "Awakati Bethelou" ("My Times Are Beautiful"). She participated in recording patriotic songs during the 1973 war, including "Wa Ana 'ala Arraba Baghanni" ("And I Sing on the Raba") and "Bismillah Allah Akbar" ("In the Name of God, God is Great"), establishing herself as a national voice.
