Rachid Taha is not the first artist to blend Arab and Western musical styles, but he is certainly one of the most innovative. Born in Algeria, but residing in France since age ten, Taha fronted a highly political punk band in his teens, then made his mark as an equally radical DJ before launching a solo career. Made in Medina is the latest in his string of crossover creations. Recorded on three continents and four countries (.

Rachid Taha is the second solo album by Rachid Taha after he left the group Carte de Séjour. It was produced by Steve Hillage and Justin Robertson; and was first released in 1993. The album contains Taha’s song "Voilà Voilà", which was released as a dance-oriented single that was a hit with English DJs; and his version of Ya Rayah, the classic chaâbi song composed by Dahmane El Harrachi (real name Abderrahmane Amrani). Taha returns to these songs in later albums.

Rachid Taha is new to me; his style of music, Rai, is not played very much in the . Basically, it's an ved music originating with the traditional styles of North Africa (especially Algeria) as transformed by various interbreedings with Western blues, traditional, and folk. It is especially popular in Paris, where there are many expatriate Algerians, and Taha in this album has infused his roots with a stark 'urban punk' influence that can really smoke. THE perfect entry point for Algerian rock icon Rachid Taha's music has arrived with an exclamation mark. Made in Medina is the album to take the maverick Rachid beyond the circle of purists and into the mainstream light. There are new stakes on this effort and plenty of redefining moments to savour with Rachid focusing heavily on street edge rock and rai to structure this recent work. Rachid has truly mastered the art of extensive music-making.
