Carte de Séjour was a French band composed of Rachid Taha (vocals), Mohamed Amini (guitar), Moktar Amini (bass), and Jérôme Savy (lead guitar).
[1] Jérôme Savy, former guitarist of the French garage rock band Arsenic, replaced Vaquer some time later.
[2] After a major concert at the Palais des sports and performance at Place de la Bastille during the Marche des beurs, the band gained prominence with their rendition of Charles Trenet's Douce France [fr].
[3] Carte de Séjour's cover of the well-known song played an important role in raising questions about the status of the Beurs and other descendants of postcolonial immigrants in France, as well as the struggle against mounting right-wing and racist policies of Front national in France.
Rachid Taha established a solo career and was considered one of the major singers of raï.
