Overview

From her life in Cairo to being a discor star, from success to suicide, Dalida reigned over the hit parades throughout the world. Although the artist's career began at the same time as popular music emerged as an industry and was acclaimed everywhere as "la marchande de bonheur" (the merchant of happiness). She encountered unhappiness ; she experienced many deaths and rebirths. Her forced march towards fame resembles a frantic search ending in despair.
