Rachid Taha - Cheba Louisa (Bande Originale du Film) '2016

Tracks list

Algerian singer/songwriter Rachid Taha became an iconic revolutionary figure in
his adopted French homeland due to his eclectic blend of native rai and chaabi
influences, raw punk energy, and rebellious rock & roll attitude. Born in Sig,
Mascara Province in Algeria in 1958, Taha emigrated to France with his family at
the age of ten. While working in a heating factory in the 70s, he founded his
own nightclub, Les Refoules, which played mash-ups of Arabic pop hits over
tracks by the likes of Led Zeppelin and Kraftwerk. In 1980, he formed Maghreb
punk outfit Carte de Sejour, who recorded two albums, Rhorhomanie and Ramsa, and
scored a hit with an anarchic cover version of Charles Trénets Douce France,
before disbanding in 1989. Two years later, he launched his solo career with
debut LP, Barbes, but achieved his biggest success with 1998s traditional
Algerian/Arab-inspired Diwan and 2004s Tekitoi, both of which were produced by
long-term collaborator Steve Hillier. Taha has also performed with Robert Plant,
Patti Smith, and Brian Eno, appeared on-stage with Damon Albarns side project
Africa Express, and covered the Clashs Rock the Casbah for the Joe Strummer
film, The Future Is Unwritten, while several of his songs have been featured in
Hollywood movies including Black Hawk Down and The Truth About Charlie. ~ Jon
