Rachid Taha has been attracting some serious attention lately. When Brian Eno heard the French-Algerian rocker's music, he was so intrigued he joined the 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, all on his own. His venomous live show has earned him comparisons to Johnny Cash and Shane MacGowan, while his punk-rock take on Algerian raï music has spread the defiant genre worldwide. Local beatboxers DJ Warp and Radiohiro open the night with raucous world-music beats.
