Stern Grove Music Festival presents Rachid Taha and MC Rai

July 13

A beloved San Francisco tradition since 1938, the Stern Grove Festival presents free outdoor concerts every Sunday from June 15 through August 17, at the Sigmund Stern Grove, a beautiful meadow surrounded by towering eucalyptus and redwood trees.

On July 13, hear a performance by French-Algerian artist Rachid Taha. Combining Algerian rai music with modern rock, punk, and dance, Taha's rough vocal style and influences range from Johnny Cash and Marvin Gaye, to Kraftwerk and Public Enemy.

Starting off the show is Los Angeles-based MC Rai, playing a mix of edgy Arabic grooves and electronica.
