About
— The Analog Vault // Essential Listening —
A potpourri of vintage grooves from the 1960s, 70s and 80s - this anthology record contains a crate digger’s reservoir of obscure gems from the Middle East and North Africa. Habibi Funk entwines everything from Algerian coladeira to Lebanese stadium rock into a 16-track travelogue through the hippest sonic regions of the Arab world.
Highlights include Moroccan Attarazat Addahabia’s afro-funk rework of Beethoven’s “Für Elise” on “Aflana”, Egyptian Al Massrieen’s disco jam on “Sah”, Fadoul displaying why he’s Casablanca’s answer to James Brown on “Bsslama Hbibti”, Bob Destiny’s raucous New Orleans rhythm and blues on “Wang Dang”, and Libyan Hamid El Shaeria’s jangly pop on “Ayonha”, among others. Habibi Funk is a terrific compilation from the eponymous German imprint, a record label launched in 2015 dedicated to showcasing music from the Arab world. - The Analog Vault
"Essentially, we are interested in the musical endeavors, in which artists from the Arab world mixed local and regional influences with musical interests that came from outside of the region. Even though the name suggests it’s all about funk music, our focus is more than just that. Often these influences might be inspired from Western popular music such as soul, pop and rock but it’s not limited to that either.
Some of our favorite records are best described as Arabic zouk (a genre originating from the Caribbean islands of Martinique and Guadeloupe) like Mallek Mohamed’s music, Algerian coladera (a popular musical style from the Cape Verdean islands) or Lebanese AOR, which means the process of musical influences displayed on this compilation was much more versatile than just taking Western music as a blueprint and translating it with a local accent.
The compilation features 15 different artists. Some you might already know thru Habibi Funk’s releases like Fadoul, Ahmed Malek, Dalton or Al Massrieen, while others are meant as an introduction to artists like Kamal Keila, Sharhabeel Ahmed, Attarazat Addahabia & Mallek Mohamed." — via Label
