Following her disco success, in mid-1976 she released a new album with completely new songs, most of them disco. The most notable one was "Besame mucho" (number 7 in France and number 10 in Turkey). 1977 was a successful year for Dalida both in her private and professional life. She released three albums. One of them was live "Olympia77", released following her again four-week triumph at Olympia in 1977. The other two were albums with completely new songs. "Salma Ya Salama" became the first Raï hit in the world. Originally sung in Arabic, the song was translated into French, Italian, and German. Part of the lyrics are based on an old Egyptian folk song about homesickness and celebrating the Egyptian nation.
