Salma ya salama is a studio album released by French singer Dalida in March 1977. To promote the album, Dalida gave several live performances in Europe, the Middle East and in the Arab world.

Background

[edit]

The song "Tu m'as déclaré l'amour" was released as a single few months before the album in 1976. With lyrics by Claude Carmone and Pascal Sevran, it is a sole French language cover of “Verde luna” from the film Blood and Sand. The single was #1 hit in France that year, and gained new popularity 8 years later in USSR when it sold almost half million copies in 1984.[1]
