Warda was born near Paris in July 1940. Her father, one of the first Algerian immigrants to France, ran a hostel for migrant workers at Boulogne-Billancourt. In 1936 this hostel was already one of the main meeting places of the "North African Star", the first nationalistic organization to fight for the independence of the Maghreb. –Albawaba.com
