She went to Paris in the beginning of the 1950\u2019s, and as soon as February 1952, recorded under the name Line Monty, with the music label Path\u00e9 Marconi, several 78 RPM discs in Arab.
The pianist Maurice El M\u00e9dioni played with her throughout her Oriental career.
Her friend Youssef Hag\u00e8ge also known as Jos\u00e9 De Suza, a famous author and composer who accompanied the best of Oriental music artists, proposed one of his compositions to her :\u00a0L\u2019orientale<\/em>.<\/p>\n
She received the \u00c9dith Piaf award, and the first prize of l\u2019Olympia, frequent hits in the music-halls and cabarets of rich neighborhoods. She thus sang French songs all over the world, particularly in Canada, the United States (she had a trendy club in New-York for about ten years), in South America, Germany, the Netherland and the Middle-East.<\/p>\n Nevertheless, she again sang several Algerian songs after the independence of Algeria.<\/p>\n Line Monty played her own character in the movie Le Grand Pardon 2, by Alexandre Arcady.

L\u2019Orientale<\/em>\u00a0quickly became a hit and would be sung by Enrico Macias ten years later.
One year later, Line Monty changed her repertoire. She gave up, for a time, the songs in Arab, and started singing in French.
From the end of December 1952 till October 1956, she recorded several 78 RPM discs, still with the music label Path\u00e9, accompanied by the orchestras of Raymond Legrand, Marius Coste or Andr\u00e9 Popp.\u2008<\/p>\n
She passed away in Paris in August 2003 and was buried in a cemetary in Pantin.
After Line Monty\u2019s death, followed by Lili Boniche\u2019s in 2008, a historical documentary on the treasures of Arab-Andalusian music called Le Port des amours, was released, directed by Jacqueline Gozland.<\/p>\n
