Salim Halali  (who was born in Algeria) belonged to the same generation as that other Jewish pop star, Sami al-Maghribi. Much of his life was spent at the ‘Coq D’or’ in Casablanca , a famous oriental music hall in the old Medina popular with visitors, where he nurtured a whole school of pop stars such as Hajja Hamdaouya, Omar Tantaoui and Latifa Amal.

Salim Halali was known by his unique voice and performance

he loved art and was a big collector of vintage!

my favorite singer Zohar Argov who past away on 1987 from drugs addiction.

was very impressed by Salim Halali and gain much of his style and put it in to modern mizrahit music.

that was actually the Beginning  of this music that raised from the synagogue and created from different styles of praying from all kind of Sephardic Jewish over the world

i wish you will have pleasant listening and don’t forget the name of the humble artist salim halali that even after his dead stay anonymous to the media with what ever come to his personal life.
