Having immigrated to Egypt in childhood, Elattrache embarked on a highly successful career spanning more than four decades – recording 500 songs and starring in 31 movies. Sometimes referred to as "King of the Oud", he is one of the most important figures of 20th-century Arab music.
For three years he went into a deep state of depression after the death of Asmahane and didn't sing or compose as he mourned her. It was Samia Gamal who helped him overcome his misery and convinced him to return to singing and acting.
