	Rock the Casbah - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rock the Casbah has been said to be a reference to the anti-imperialist movements in colonial nations as well as the banning of music in Persian and Arab nations.
		"Rock the Casbah" originated when the band's manager, after hearing them record an inordinately long track for the album, asked them facetiously "does everything have to be as long as this raga?" (referring to the Indian musical style known for its length and, at least to rock audiences, complexity).
		It has been reported that "Rock the Casbah" was an unofficial anthem for the American army during the first Gulf War (the line about dropping "bombs between the minarets" being particularly relevant).

	Sun.Star Cebu - Rock the Casbah
		From an old fortified citadel becomes a Sheesha Bar and Restaurant, Casbah serves authentic Arabic dishes and Filipino fare: a fusion of the near and far eastern palate.
		Casbah has 30 water pipes in store, a device for smoking flavored tobacco that is made in Egypt and exported all-over the Middle East.
		The Casbah is the closest thing to have an Arabic experience without having to leave the country.

	Montreal Mirror : Music Cover : Rachid Taha
		"Rock the Casbah" was in fact the very first song played on the international Armed Forces Radio when that war was declared.
		While "Rock the Casbah" is not to be mistaken for an explicitly anti-war song, its "liberation" by the Yanks was "just typical and despicable," in the late Clash frontman Joe Strummer's estimation.
		In that respect, Taha is particularly suited to tackle "Rock the Casbah." The song's lyrics specifically target fundamentalist Muslim heavies and their vicious repression of music, rock or otherwise (a nasty tradition going back centuries).

	The Clash - Rock The Casbah
		I knew The Clash were a punk rock group but I was confused because this song didn’t fit my definition.

		Rock The Casbah is that situation taken to the extreme.

		* Rock the Kasbah is a compilation dedicated to the memory of the late front man of the Clash Joe Strummer.
		Joe Strummer and the Clash were unwittingly a profound influence on these artists who each in their own way are literally rocking the casbah sometimes as exiles and often at risk to their personal safety.
		1982's "Rock the Casbah" from the album "Combat Rock" was written by frontman Joe Strummer on hearing about music being banned by religious leaders in Iran (ironically the song became the soundtrack to the bombardment of Baghdad in 1991's Gulf War).

	Rock the Casbah by The Clash Songfacts
		The reason the Clash was so brilliant was because they were able to branch out into different areas of punk (including the sound of Rock the Casbah) and bring new aspects into their music without being tooooooo terribly left-wing-ish.
		The Clash rule because they showed everyone that punk rock can be as diverse and original as any other genre, and still remain punk.
		The Casbah is the Arab quarters (ghetto) of Algiers.

		Boys and girls mingled and danced together during the concert, and some of the women were not wearing the modest clothing and Islamic headscarf required by law, media reports said.
		The song was inspired by the banning of rock music in Iran under Ayatollah Khomeini.
		The song gives a fabulist account of the ban being defied by the population, who proceed to "rock the casbah".

		Trouble was brewing in the Clash camp by the time of Combat Rock in 1982.
		Touring in the far east and US was taking its toll on band relations but they somehow managed to record an album with some stunning moments and (again!) classic tracks.
		Drugs had taken their toll on Topper but that didn't seem to hinder his songwriting skills (as shown on Rock The Casbah).

		"Rock the Casbah" is obviously their biggest "hit", therefore their most overplayed song and subsequently, one of the ones I really don't listen to that much, at least with much attention to detail.
		Those boys were saying "Rockin the casbah, Rock the casbah" and for over two decades I thought they were saying "Rock the casbah, Rock the casbah".
		I've always dug this song, but this live version rocks.

		the casbah is a sector of Algerias capital Algiers that is largely avoided by most algerians and other outsiders for fear of their lives.
		The result was a song that was tough enough for rock fans but rhythmic enough to appeal to dance music lovers.
		It remains a favorite on classic rock radio today and is frequently played by sarcastic disc jockeys whenever there is a military situation in the Middle East (example: it got a lot of airplay during the Persian Gulf War).

		While he deserved some kudos on this front, it should be remembered that appearing a great thinker in comparison to other rock singers is no great accomplishment.
		Appearing a great rock singer in comparison to other rock singers is rather more impressive, and this collection is an irrefutable case for the genius of Strummer and the band he led.
		Nearly all the classic Clash songs are featured on this compilation and it offers a useful insight into the sheer range and timeless craft of this definitive rock band of the late 70s.

		Record stores across Iran will now have to have “Rock” sections, which will look kinda funny in that they’ll consist of only one band.

		"Is there anything they don't know?" One of the most requested tunes on the British Forces Broadcasting Service (the radio station for British troops serving in Iraq) is Rock the Casbah by The Clash, who knew a thing or two and anticipated quite a bit more:
		After 9/11, radio stations were urged not to play the song because it was seen as too provocative, but courtesy of YouTube, here's the band's video of Rock the Casbah.
		For me, was a song, a great one, and talks something about a market named Casbah, and a Sheriff, perhaps a kind of bad one.

		Clambering around casbahs in the desert, haggling in narrow medieval alleyways, riding Arabian horses through remote mountain villages, and speeding on desolate sandy roads.
		Spend a night in Ouirgane, a mountain hamlet known for its luxury hotel La Roseraie, complete with a Moroccan-style spa, and for the neighboring Berber villages (get a guide to lead you -- on the back of an impeccably groomed Arabian).
		After crossing the dizzying passes in the High Atlas mountains, stop to explore Ait Ben Haddou, a massive old abandoned casbah, and spend the night in Ouarzazate (site of stunning dunes featured in many movies).
