  Zebda
Zebda also conveys the sentiments of the banlieues' large immigrant and first-generation French populations, who feel shut off and excluded by a larger, affluent, and white French society that seems to determine "foreignness" on strictly ethnic and racial grounds.
All of Zebda's seven members hail from Toulouse-region banlieues, and all are either first-generation French citizens (like Cherfi and co-singers Hakim and Moustapha Amokrane, whose parents are Kabile), or families that arrived in one of the many waves of immigration that have periodically swept across the south-west from Portugal, Spain, Italy, and the Maghreb.
Indeed, one of Zebda's greatest strengths is not only expressing social issues by blending the musical influences of their parents' cultures with modern idioms they grew up with.

 RFI Musique - - ZEBDA
Zebda - the group's name is a clever pun on the French slang word for Arab - are a seven-strong band from Toulouse in the South of France.
Zebda, who remain convinced that culture (and music, in particular) is an important way of getting their militant message across, continue to divide their time between artistic projects and local community work.
Following on in their militant vein, Zebda hit French newspaper headlines in May 2000 when they announced their intention of sponsoring a list of independent candidates for the local elections (due to be held in the spring of 2001).

 Oscherwitz: Bringing on the noise: Zebda, fusion and the musical politics of métissage   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Zebda, who hail from Toulouse, exploded onto the French musical scene in the 1990s with their fusion of rap, raï;, reggae, ska, rock, Andalusian guitar, French accordian, and classical violin.
This mapping and analysis of Zebda's music will explore the logic behind the particular combination of musical styles within specific songs, and will analyze the way in which the musical composition forms a counterpoint to the group's lyrical content.
Through my analysis, I will interrogate the formation and articulation of Zebda's particular banlieue identity, including the ways in which their music challenges dominant-culture characterizations of the banlieue as urban space, and the ways in which this music advocates for social and political equality through the erasure of racial and class discrimination.

 The Constitution of an 'Alternative' Music Culture in French Rock Music, 1981-2001.
Zebda’s website is a good example for its use as both an advertisement and as medium to strengthen the fan community at the same time.
The external subculture of Zebda’s fandom is of fundamental importance to the interaction in the forum: in addition to providing information about gigs and interviews, the context of the fandom also provides interpretive practices that are central to the communication in it.
The opportunity to discuss Zebda’s musical and political aims with others is a valued incentive to improve one’s political mind; many of the users have established a personal relationship through the forum.

Zebda scored a major summer 2000 French hit with the ragga-propelled, jump-up-and-celebrate "Tomber la Chemise," and it was a double-edged sword for the Toulouse group.
Not from pressure to duplicate the success, but from the political group's own desire to avoid being viewed as a mere pop band with nothing substantial to say.
Not that much remains of the dance-inducing rhythms that made its blend of ragga, rock, and rap so inviting -- the punch of the music is largely scaled back to serve as a backdrop for Magyd Cherfi's lyrics.

It was thanks to such determination that Zebda's blend of rock, rap, reggae and Arab music has suddenly found a large and growing audience.
Rather than reject French society, Zebda urges listeners to "become socially and politically active any way you can to bring about productive change." The band led by example last April by refusing to perform at a high-exposure Toulouse concert on the grounds that ticket prices were too high.
In between Zebda took public stands on social and racial problems plaguing France--dealing with Islamic extremists as harshly as they did the National Front--and championed the notion of a mutually respectful and tolerant "mixed France".

Zebda : Albums : Le Bruit et L'Odeur : Toulouse : Reviews
Zebda's second album is a marked advanced over L'Arêne des Rumeurs -- the latter is a very good debut, but the French band is more comfortable and assured in the studio setting here.
The ney keyboard sample that starts several songs almost sounds like a muzzein calling the faithful to hear the word and the constant change-ups of musical elements in the arrangements show that Zebda is adding to and changing the form, not content with just doing raggamuffin en français.
