Born in Casablanca, Morocco in 1941, Maya Casabianca came with her family to settle in Paris at the end of the 1950s. She was discovered by producer Jacques Canetti when she was only 13 and hired by the record company Philips, to compete with Dalida. She sang at the l’Olympia with Yves Montand, who chose her stage name in reference to her city of birth.
She left Paris in the 1970s to settle in Haifa, Israel, where she continued her career. She returned to France sporadically, participating several times in Pascal Sevran’s show. She was the mistress of the Egyptian singer Farid el-Atrache.
