Rabat – Moroccan singer Dounia Batma received a special gift from King Mohammed VI. The sovereign has sent a thank you letter to the artist after she dedicated a song to him.
Batma had released the track “Bcharat Khir” (Bringer of Prosperity) last month to celebrate the King’s return to Morocco after his heart operation in Paris. The song went viral on social media, generating a lot of positive feedback.
Posted on the YouTube channel of AlTurk Production, a company owned by young singer’s husband, the video included several Moroccan celebrities, such as Leila Hadioui and Rachid Allali.
“We thank you, you and all the artists and journalists who participated in this distinguished work that reflects the feelings of love, loyalty and fidelity you give us,” wrote the king in a handwritten letter in Arabic.
Dounia Batma was very touched with “tears in her eyes” by Mohammed VI’s present. “Thank you for this appreciation and attention. Thank you for following up all the honorable Moroccan works. Thank you for your support. I am proud that you love my work. This proves that I am in the right. I will always cherish this certificate from my beloved King,” the diva wrote on her Instagram page.
