Rachid Taha, rockeur sans frontières
Having arrived in the world of French rock in the 1980s with a bitingly ironic cover version of "Douce France", Rachid Taha (1958-2018) embodied an exhilarating cross-cultural music style for thirty years. Refusing all forms of determinism, thwarting any attempt at assignation, Rachid the rocker remained forever a free-thinker.
