Made in Medina

Made in Medina is a studio album by French-Algerian raï artist Rachid Taha.

[4] It was released in 2000 by Barclay Records and produced and arranged by Steve Hillage.

[5] Five of the songs were subsequently featured in Taha's live album.

[6] 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.

"[2] The Washington Post called the album "an ecstatic union of Algerian rai and Western rock, techno and funk.
