Tamer Hosny is the causality of the Egyptian revolution, Latifa is the causality of the one in Tunisia. She was a friend of the regime, and they have always honored her and asked her to perform in their private and public events.
The revolution stars, she stays mum, the revolution wins she stays mum.Then she said stuff that might have offended some people. Bu frankly she has not had any good press in more than three years--even before the Arab Spring. I do recall reading a story from Latifa where she told of her new born niece named something after the new Tunisia.
Latifa is a great singer with a really nice voice which she used for both pop and Tarab songs. She made dozens of fun songs that remains with us and with many generations to come. But I do not know what it is with Latifa finding good songs or making time to release new material.
In few years, Latifa's political affiliation might be viewed as a good thing as the Islamic leaning politicians are already freaking out some people over there.
In the meantime, here's a song of Latifa's where she does a Tunisian dialect hit, something she has not done enough of lately.

actually latifa doesn't support ben-ali, she never did and for a while she was banned on tunisian media for that...it's the time when she released the song "Watani", at the time she didn't mention it because she was afraid of the regime in tunisia...but they fall down she announced it
