SOHEIR ZAKI ABDALLAH, known as "The sweet star of Cairo", born in Mansoura 4 January in 1945. She worked in egyptian cinema from 1963 to 1984, and kept dancing until the 1990's
The legendary dancer and film star Suhair Zaki doesn't need to be
introduced anymore in fact. Suhair Zaki may have retired, but she hasn't
lost her aura of glamour. Suhair Zaki epitomizes the natural baladi
dancer. The late Anwar Sadat once called her "the Oum Kolthoum of
dance." "As she sings with her voice, you sing with your body," he told
her once. Old US President Nixon named her "Zagharit," when he learned
that the word referred to the shrill yelling as an expression of joy.
Sohair received expressions of honour from the Shah of Iran, the
Tunisian president and Gamal Abdel Nasser.
Suhair Zaki was born in Mansoura, where she and her family lived until she was nine, before moving to the mediterranean city of Alexandria. Suhair fell in love with music and dance from an early age. As much that she taught herself to dance, listening to the radio. Natural talent showed itself young, and before long she was being noticed at the birthday and wedding parties of friends and family. Later on Zaki moved to Cairo, the capital of the Egyptian entertainment world, where she began to entertain weddings. Later she did nightclub performances from early in the evening and going on throughout the night. Just like any other dancer did... Soheir Zaki failed an audition as a presenter but it turned out to be only the beginning of her career on television.
