Fez- Moroccan singer Samira Said has been awarded the World Music Award for her single “Mazal” sung in Moroccan darija, according to a statement posted on her official Facebook page.
“The Diva Samira Said Won the WORLD MUSIC AWARD for the Best Single Song,” said the statement. The award ceremony, which will broadcast on NBC, will take place on May 27 in Monte Carlo.
This is not the first time that Samira wins worldwide distinction. In October 2013 she was awarded the World Music Award for best Middle Eastern artist. She was recently designated the Middle East’s Best 2013 Female Singer by the Middle East Music Awards (MEMA).
Only two months after it had been uploaded to YouTube, the video clip of “Mazal” had almost reached 900,000 views. Six months later with the release of the official video, the song has already reached 2,350,000 views.
Samira Said’s hit “Mazal” swept all Moroccan and Arab radio stations and music TV channels, and became the preferred single of millions of people.
