Sultana Daoud (also known as Reinette l'Oranaise; 1918 in Tiaret, Algeria – 17 November 1998, in Paris) was an Algerian Jewish singer,[1][2] who helped preserve Arab-Andalus music, as well as introducing the genre to European audiences.
She studied with Saoud l'Oranais, who gave her the nickname Reinette l'Oranaise ("Queenie from Oran").
Unable to find work in her home country, she returned to France, playing in restaurants and private parties for the Maghrebi Jewish community in Paris.
In the 1980s the increased interest in "World Music" brought her to the media's attention, and she was once again able to perform to large audiences.
Her recording of the song "Qum Tara" was used in the film A la Place du Coeur (1998).
