They became movie stars at home in Egypt but, after the military coup led by Nassar, moved to India and Singapore where their fame followed them.The twins received their US Visa’s when a group of US congressmen who were visiting India, attended one of their shows in Bombay.Having arrived in the US, they joined Syrian-American Eddie “The Sheik” Kochak and Iraqi violinist Hakki Obadia to create the sound called Ameraba, a fusion of American and Arab music.Shortly after moving to the US the sisters married and turned to teaching belly dancing rather than performing in night clubs.Lyn passed away in 1992 and Liz in 2016. Her widower David Marks decided to share the amazing story of his late wife and her sister with the world by donating her archives to the National Library of Israel whereby they may inspire future dancers and lovers of Arab culture and Arab-Jewish art.
