"Sidi Mansour" (in Tunisian dialect "سيدي منصور" ) is a popular folkloric song from Tunisia.
Over the past few decades, various renditions of the song have been created. The song was made famous in 2000 when the Tunisian artist Saber Rebaï (in Tunisian صابر الرباعي) released his version. Since then, "Sidi Mansour" has been subject to many covers in Arabic and many other languages. In 2021, Enisa Nikaj, a Brooklyn-born American singer of Albanian descent, released the song "Count My Blessings", inspired by the song. Boney M.'s "Ma Baker" was also inspired by the folk song.
Rebaï's "Sidi Mansour" song should not, however, be confused with the unrelated "Sidi Mansour" by Algerian raï artist Cheikha Rimitti.[1]
