It was September 1981, and Taha bumped into all four members of the band just before they were due to play at the Théâtre Mogador in Paris. Taha gave them a copy of a demo tape by his band, Carte de Séjour. "They looked interested," remembers Taha, "but when they didn't get in touch, I thought nothing of it. Then, a few months later, I heard Rock the Casbah." He cackles mischievously. "Maybe they did hear it after all." The incident has since gone down in French rock legend. - The Guardian, 2003

Okay this makes me feel good. He's doing something creative. I hate to think this guy Mick Jones It's Not getting the respect that he deserves. But I see he's more popular in some parts of the world
Que gran pérdida. Pero que legado musical para el mundo. Gracias maestro hermoso. Dios te bendiga. Y vuela alto descansa en paz. 😢😢😢. Mis más sentido pésame a todos los Algerianos.
La Casbah j'écris en Français, est un quartier ancien de plusieurs siècles implanté ds 1 grande ville, maisons typiques construites par les habitants, revisited par L'empire Ottoman, petites ruelles, débute en bas, atteint le sommet de la ville, on en trouve au Maroc Algérie, Syrie, etc....

Yes in fact he has a Back2The Future Delorean time machine, so he rode it back to 1982 when Clash recorded Casbah, came up with the riff which The Clash ripped off, then went back to 2004 and did his version!
Tahoe's not quite right, but more than you give him credit for (at least according to Taha). Taha saw the Clash as a teenager and says he gave Strummer a demo tape for his band (not sure if it was Carte de Sejour or an earlier band), which blended punk and rock with traditional North African melodies. He never heard anything, but a while later they came out with Casbah and he figured Joe had given the tape a listen and got some inspiration. Taha doesn't call it a ripoff, though.
This is pretty bitchin'. I wouldn't mind an Eno/Mick Jones collaboration in this lifetime, and if they chose to do it with these dudes, it'd be pretty rad. Kind of reminds me of "Remain in Light"-era Talking Heads.
When the drummer rolls to start the song and Mick Jones is pounding that guitar, after all these years it takes me back to that special electric,energy sound that made the Clash so Loved in Punk Rock music history. Fantastic Thanks for the Video! ""Surely I Do Like It"".
rigging power je voulais dire la chanson est triste car elle l parle de l'injustice et la souffrance ...il faut comprendre ce que je voulais dire apres commenté!
faux précisez sur vos commentaires car ya plein de commentaires négatifs sur les paroles. il a juste traduit l original ... ana hemar wenta caviii . c bon on est quitte . hhhhhhhh
Then you aren't familiar with the lyrics: It's all about how despite orders to drop bombs, no war occurs because everyone would rather make and enjoy music together. The video makes this even more clear: The band is dressed as both IDF soldiers and Hezbollah fighters, and most of the video consists of a Hasidic Jew and an Arab guy jamming together.

Wait wait wait.
He did this first?
Are lyrics similar?
They give him credit?
Looong time Clash fan, just discovered Taha, never heard this.
No.
Taha was just thinking its crossover french/arabic rock band just give them the idear of the track.
The best Clash cover ever... GREAT. RIP Taha man.
Actually it's the other way around 😉
I've never heard a bad version of this song
Good old Mick - What a legend still rocking ......May it never end

Yes because the casbah only exist in algeria
Who's the drummer? He is very impressive.
I assume that the instrument that looks like a lute is a north African instrument that I am not familiar with. What is it?
it's arabic , it's called "Oud".
Thank you!
Thanks...
It's an Algerian Mondol.
Janet Steinman exactly north African Andalusian mondol - algeria

I don't see Brain Eno dancing. I think you mean Mick.
I don't understand why you're getting downvoted. It indeed appears in a the guardian article that is quoted on wikipedia.
Who were the 69 tools who downvoted LOL

Pensées intermittents
I read that The Clash actually ripped off the riff/ melody for "Rock The Casbah" from Rachid Taha.
Did Eno call him "Nick Jones"? Lol
She appears to be starstruck by Mick's too-cool presence.
"kosher", not "cosha".' and the line is actually mick's...

Si vous comprenez les mots algériens de cette chanson, vous serez triste
Meme les paroles du rock est du n importe quoi. Arreter de faire la pub negative contre notre culture. Ya el caviii

The song doesn't seem to fit a "stop the war" kind of event...
