She relocated with her husband, and the two of them worked together. He wrote a traditional-style song, "Ya Sidi rabi", which resonated with Algerian women for its theme of loss of their children because of emigration and intermarriage with foreigners. The song became a staple in her repertoire. Through Hamadi, Noura met the composer El Habib Hachelaf, with whom she also collaborated musically. She sang both alone and in duets with her husband and many of her songs focused on traditional themes such as marriage, children, neighborhood and God. In 1962, the couple returned to Algeria, but commuted back and forth between Paris and Algiers to record. In 1965, she released an album of his songs, all in French, including "Vie" by Michel Berger and "Paris dans mon sac" by her husband.
