An Eclectic Selection of Music From the Arab World
by Various Artists
Serving as the inaugural compilation for the Berlin-based Habibi Funk label, this release highlights highly danceable, heavily Western-influenced Arab pop from the 1970s and 80s. The curated tracks pull from across North Africa and the Middle East, showcasing incredibly vibrant localized interpretations of disco, reggae, and synth-funk. It succeeded in bringing a wealth of neglected, groove-heavy Arab artists to the attention of international record collectors.
