Tuesday, 2 June 2009Rachid Taha rocked the House

Last night the Opera Theatre at Sydney Opera House went wild to sounds of Rachid Taha. His fusion of Arabic sounds with serious rock had the audience on their feet and dancing.

A highlight was when Taha called Brian Eno, the curator of Luminous, onto the stage and they spontaneously performed together including a cover version of ‘Rock the Casbah’.  Audience members also got up on the stage and danced with Eno and Taha.  It was a great celebration of music and culture!
