The cover of the 1992 release from the great French band, Zebda. Released during the height of the Palestinian intifada. David fighting Goliath, 1992.
Their name, Zebda, is Arabic for butter, or "beur" in French. "Beur" is slang in French for those of Arab background. The band is multi-ethnic, but its vocalists are the Beurs Magid Cherfi, the band leader, plus Hakim and Mustapha Amokrane.
For a flavor of the band, check out the first track from the album, "Arabodub."
