Warda al-Jazāʾiriyya

Singer and actress Warda al-Jazairiyya had an Algerian father and Lebanese mother.

BnF identifies Warda Fettouki, born 22 July 1939 and deceased 17 May 2012 in Cairo. Museum-published artist testimony documents her father’s French club, arrival in Cairo in 1960 and return to singing in 1972. Birthplace variants and several inherited narratives require further checks.
