Rachid Taha
Rachid Taha (Arabic: رشيد طه) (born September 18, 1958 in Sig, Algeria) is an Algerian singer and activist〔〔 based in France〔 who has been described as "sonically adventurous."〔 His music is influenced by many different styles such as rock, electronic, punk and raï.
==Early life==
Taha was born in 1958〔〔 in Sig (Mascara Province), Algeria,〔 although a second source suggests he was born in the Algerian seacoast city of Oran. This town was the "birthplace of raï" music, and 1958 was a key year in the Algerian struggle for independence against French authority.〔 He began listening to Algerian music in the 1960s,〔 including street-style music called chaabi.〔 And music from the Maghreb region was part of his upbringing.〔
He moved with his parents to France when he was ten years old, settling in an immigrant community around the French city of Lyon in 1968.〔Plastino, pp. 111.〕 His father was a textile factory worker,〔Curiel, Jonathan. ("Arab rocker Rachid Taha's music fueled by politics, punk attitude and -- what else? -- romance" ). ''San Francisco Chronicle''. 27 June 2005. Retrieved 14 March 2013.〕 with long hours and low pay, such that his life was compared to that of a "modern slave", according to one account. When 17, Taha worked during the day at a central heating plant, described as a "menial job",〔 and hated this work, but at night worked as a club DJ playing Arabic music, rap, salsa, funk and "anything else that took his fancy."〔 The contrast between menial work during the day and fun during the night may have helped to develop his musical sensibility.〔 In the late 1970s, Taha founded the nightclub called ''The Rejects'' or, in French, ''Les Refoulés'', where he would ''spin'' mashups of Arabic pop classics over Led Zeppelin, Bo Diddley and Kraftwerk backbeats.〔Morgan, Andy.
