Louisa Tounsia, 1948

Despite being one of the most renowned vocalists in Tunisia during the mid-20th century, very little has been written about the great Louisa Tounsia. She was part of the deep tradition of Jewish singers of the Maghreb, along with Raoul Journo and Cheikh El-Afrit, among others. Her first sessions appear to have been for the French Polyphon label in 1938. She made a few sides for Columbia afterwards, and then recorded at least 25 songs for HMV starting in the mid-1940s.
