Made in Medina

1

Made in Medina is a studio album by French-Algerian raï artist Rachid Taha. It was released in 2000 by Barclay Records and produced and arranged by Steve Hillage. Five of the songs were subsequently featured in Taha's live album. A video clip was made for "Hey Anta".

Critical reception

AllMusic wrote that "while it may sound like a shopping list for an international emporium, in fact, Medina has an extremely coherent sound, built on prominent, danceable rhythms, strong melodies, and powerful vocals, all shot through with a Middle Eastern flavor." The Washington Post called the album "an ecstatic union of Algerian rai and Western rock, techno and funk."
