2015, Laon .
Zebda is a French music group from Toulouse .
tape
The group consists of seven musicians who first met in 1985. “Zebda” is the Arabic word for butter - or beurre in French . It is a play on the use of beur , the French slang term for Arabs. Several group members are of North African descent. Their music is influenced by influences from all over the world, e.g. B. Reggae , Raï and Rock . Her best known song is Tomber la chemise .
Zebda's texts often deal with political and social grievances and go so far as to take up speeches by Jacques Chirac (in Le bruit et l'odeur ). The result of this political commitment was the creation and participation in a citizens' movement: the Motivé-es .
