CAIRO, 9 June 2006 — The general manager of a Moroccan natural oils and cosmetic company, Ahmad Raho, refused to reveal the actual wage that prominent Moroccan singer Samira Saeed will receive for doing a television commercial for the company.
Raho stressed that Samira is the only person who may reveal the amount she was paid.
In the commercial, the singer is seen walking through one of the old streets of Casablanca listening to her song “Awini Beek” (Make Me Strong).
Samira has completed recording a collection of new songs for her upcoming album, scheduled for release this summer. The songs are sung in a variety of dialects, including Lebanese, Gulf, and Egyptian. Recently, Samira surprised millions who attended the opening ceremony of the African Nations Soccer Championship at the Cairo Stadium when she performed a special song, “Kulna Insan” (We Are All Human), written especially for the event.
The song is about fighting terrorism, sending the message that people should stand together as one to fight this evil that is destroying lives and causing unrest around the world. The song was written by Midhat Al-Aden, composed by Amro Mustafa and distributed by Majid Awad.
