Rachid Taha has been attracting serious attention lately. When Brian Eno heard the French-Algerian rocker's music, he was so intrigued that he joined his band. When the Rolling Stones and Robert Plant heard the new punk-rock superstar, they invited him to play some shows — now Taha draws large audiences wherever he goes, on his own. His venomous live performance has earned him comparisons to Johnny Cash and Shane MacGowan, while his punk take on Algerian raï music has helped spread the defiant genre worldwide. LA-based MC Rai opens.
