Tom Cohen’s description of the singer Salim Halali quite accurately summarizes the multifaceted and enigmatic life of the singer, who became known for his traditional Arab-Andalusion music and as an iconic figure of French-Arab cabaret music. Halali was a proud, gay individual with Jewish roots, who faced harassment by the Nazis for both his sexuality and his religious identity. Having survived the war by falsifying papers stating he was Muslim, he gained international recognition for his singing abilities and lavish lifestyle, and performed regularly in Paris, Montreal, and Casablanca. He retired for a solitary life in 1993 and passed away in 2005 at the age of 84.
