She was part of the deep tradition of Jewish singers of the Maghreb, along with Raoul Journo and Cheikh El-Afrit, among others.  <span>Her first sessions appear to have been for the French Polyphon label in 1938. She made a few sides for Columbia afterwards, and then recorded at least 25 songs for HMV starting in the mid-1940s.</span></span></p> </div> </div> </blockquote>
