Eurocircle Dances to Live Music by Rachid Taha July 10, 2008

Algerian worldbeat artist Rachid Taha creates a musical melting pot in Perelman Theater on Thursday, July 10, 2008 at 7:30pm, incorporating everything from traditional Arab zithers to modern electric guitars. A former member of the hit French rock trio Carte de Séjour, Taha mixes Algerian raï music with Western flavors, often performed in Arabic. In 2008, Taha won the BBC Radio 3 Awards for World Music in the Middle East & North Africa. His latest album The Definitive Collection (2007) features Taha’s greatest hits, including "Ya Rayah," "Nokta" and an Arabic version of The Clash’s classic "Rock The Casbah."

Eurocircle members will dance to Taha's live music, participate in a wine tasting and have access to a cash bar. $20 payable via Paypal in advance. Send Paypal payments to [email protected] with your name and the names of guests you are paying for.
