Biography

During the 1970s, Lem Chaheb was the best known and most westernized of Morocco's chaabi bands, both qualities being the result of their long-time collaboration with the Berlin-based experimental outfit, Dissidenten, who provided the Moroccans with synthesizer backup and European exposure. Their best-known hit, "Paletine," was a pan-Arabic success. The group broke up in the 1980s. ~ Leon Jackson, All Music Guide
