Latifa
Tunisian pop superstar Latifa.
Latifa Bent Aleya Al Arfawy , born in Tunisia on February 14th - Valentines day.
Tunisian singer Latifa’s latest album "Khalouni" (Let Me) has given rise to criticism from the music industry in several northern African countries, particularly from Tunisian newspapers.
The rights to the song "Khalouni" belong to the late Algerian singer Dahman Al Harashi, and a number of music critics claim that Latifa failed to mention Dahman in her promotional campaign for the album or even to credit him on the CD cover, marketing the song as ‘Khalouni- Latifa.’
Latifa stated she did not steal the rights to the song, and made it a point to credit Dahman as the original composer, explaining that she had received permission from the late composer’s family before recording the song and filming the accompanying video.
Latifa herself recently accused an Iranian singer of stealing the composition of her song "Ma Trouhshi Ba’eed" (Don’t Go Far).
