Broadcaster Radiodiffusion-Télévision Marocaine (RTM) organised the country’s one and only participation, selecting singer Samira Said and the disco-infused track Bitakat Hob.

Samira finished a disappointing 18th in a field of 19 but went on to have enormous global success with album sales topping an estimated 60 million.

RTM, now known as SNRT (Société Nationale de Radiodiffusion et de Télévision), remains a Member of the European Broadcasting Union.
