Rockin' the casbah!

Posted: Apr 8, 2009 Wed 05:54 pm     Views: 301    Interacts: 2

This is one of my joys on YouTube these days. The pop Rai singer Rachid Taha reclaiming "Rock the Casbah" in Arabic for Joe Strummer and The Clash from those who perverted it on bombs and any type of conservative. Taha is rockin' it with The Clash's Mick Jones here, yeah!



and a song from which an Indian music director borrowed some of its music for a film, a song about the traveler, the immigrant, "Ya Rayeh"
