Nagat El-Sagheera (Arabic: نجاة الصغيرة; born Nagat Hosni Elbaba on 11 August 1938; alternative spelling: El Saghirah) is an Egyptian singer and actress.[1] She retired from filming in 1976 and from singing in 2002. Nagat began her career at the age of five and retired 59 years later.[2][3][4]
Nagat's works are a part of Egyptian music from the "golden age" of the 1940s, ’50s and ’60s. She still inspires other Arab artists.[5]
