Samir Loussif (Arabic: سمير لوصيف) is a Tunisian Mezwed singer. At one time, he was banned from broadcasting on Tunisian television, as were other mezoued artists. Samir Loussif is a variety singer; he sings a large repertoire inspired by Tunisian folk art. His songs express pain or hope, his melodies are refined, and the lyrics are poetic.[1]
His most popular song is titled "ya mimti el ghalia", which roughly means "oh my mother, so dear". This song, with a soft and melancholic rhythm, tells the story of a man who sings to his mother and tells her how much he misses her and how difficult it is to live abroad. This song is very successful, particularly for Tunisians living abroad, who are much more likely to feel this poetry. "Ya mimti el ghalia" (Oh my mother, so dear), "Ya 'in min' ineya" (the apple of my eye). Previously, Hedi Habouba was the biggest mezwed singer in Tunisia; then there was Samir Loussif, and others followed, such as Achref, Hichem Sallem, Walid Tounsi, or even Cheb Salih.[2][3]
