HABIBI FUNK MIX 1-7
VA

Seven beautiful mixes of 60s and 70s Arabic music from the Berlin-based label Habibi Funk.

Mix 1, The Beginning, includes Take Me Back to Cairo by Karim Shourhy and Andrea Rayder (third song), a great reprise of James Brown's Papa’s Got a Brand New Bag, called Sid Redad, by Feddoul (fourth song), and ten other good songs.

Mix 5, Introducing Al Massrieen + Egyptian Jazz, is more slow and instrumental, largely music from Egypt, and also includes two themes by Algerian composer Ahmed Malek: La silence des cendres (third song) and Bolero (last song). Habibi Funk later released a beautiful album with the music of Ahmed Malek, Musique originale de films.
