ييياه يازمن📻♥️♥️*

أحبه ربا صنعاء عجب كيف حالكم


أحبه ربا صنعاء عجب كيف حالكم ..... وهل عندكم ما حل بالعاشق المضني
وهل تذكرونا مثلما ذكرنا لـكــم ..... وهل تسألوا من جاء إلى أرضكم عنا
لا نا وحق الله من شوقنا لكــم ..... نسائل نجوم الليل عنكم إذا جنـى
فلو تنظروا المملوك يرعى خيالكم ..... ويسمع من صوت الحمام كلما غنى

تركتم وايقنتم بحسن الوفا لكم ..... وبذل الدعا في كل حين لكم منا
فياليت شعري أين كان احتفالكـم ..... وذاك الوفا المعهود من بعدما كنا
أمانة عليكم هل خطرنا ببالكــم ..... وهل عاد ذاك العهد باقي كما كنا
وحق النبي والبيت ما حد وفى لكم ..... وفانا من الأقصى من الناس والأدنى

ولكن أنا حظي وعزة جمالكــم ..... مع كل من أهوى يجني ويتجنى
عسى يستقيم الخط لي في اتصالكم ..... ونعطي ببعض الخوف من قربكم أمنا
ظفرتم وسدتم حين قلبي جلا لكـم ..... وفي أسركم من حين ما فارقتم المضنى
إذا كان حظي هجركم أو مطالكـم ..... فقد فاز رب الصبر بالمقصد الأسنى

ردو جوابي واشرحوا بعض حالكم ..... لمملوككم يجلو به الهم والحزنــا
اذا قد رضيتم فافعلوا ما بدا لكــم ..... مرادي الرضا منكم برغم الذي يشنى
وخلوه يتأمل محاسن جمالـكــم ..... ويحظى بطيب العيش فيها ويتهنى
لا ترحموا من بات يشكو مطالـكم ..... ويرجو لقاكم كل حين ويتمنى

...............................

Thru the "Sawtuha" project and Blitz The Ambassador playing quite some shows in Morocco I've had the pleasure to travel North Africa quite frequently lately and whenever possible I did some record shopping. This is a selection of some of the finds, music from the 60s and 70s from Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, Morocco and Tunisia. Some known some not yet. 

This is also a kick off to a new loose series of mixes by us, people we work with or people we are just friends with. Enjoy.

Habibi Funk will be a new sub label of Jakarta Records, dedicated to re-releasing arabic music from the 1970s and 1980s. It's a label and platform for funky/soulful and/or psych influenced music from the Arab world of the 70s and 80s.

Dalton was a band from Tunis, the capital of Tunisia. They came together as a band around 1968 when most of the members studied together at the University of Tunis. The band had five members. Faouzi Chekili on guitar, piano and vocals, Ridha Kouhen on bass guitar, Mustapha Rehouma and sax and percussion, Sadok Gharbi on trumpet and vocals and Skaner Alim on drums and vocals. They were active in the local scene, playing music that was heavily influenced by American soul and funk and at the same time regional musical traditions. In the early 70s the band got a regular gig at a beach hotel called Sahara Beach Resort on the coastline of Tunisia. They had six month contracts for a couple of years in the early 70s and during that time they would play every single night of the tourist season. While the hotel gig required the band to play sets leaning      towards tourist entertainment, the regular work helped put some money into the band's accounts. Using those funds the band was able to travel to Rome to record their one and only 7“ single release "Alech" around 1971/1972. The band eventually dismantled in the mid 70s and returned briefly as a new group with new members in the late 1970s under the name Carthago but that is a different story…… 

"That "Soul Brother" is my jam…. !!!!"

The single itself impressed us heavily when we first stumbled upon it through French collector Victor Kiswell. While the b-side "Soul Brother“ sounds like a Tunisian version of modern soul / AOR with it’s English lyrics and lush arrangements, the title track "Alech“ is the one that will get every party started. An infectious 3/4 rhythm, a great horn arrangement and brillantly layered vocals that made us think of Brazillian music or the Georgian groove band Gaya. Luckily Faouzi Chekili, the former band leader and composer uses social media communication so he was easy to track down. He is still active as a renowned musician in the Tunisian jazz scene and remains active recording and playing concerts both in Tunisia and internationally.

Restored and mastered by Roskow at Audiomoto Studios.


Habibi Funk 001: Dalton - Alech (Tunisia, 1972, pre-order link in description)

كنت متوقع اشوفك ابوبكر سالم بالفقية

In the last couple of month I had the privilege to be able to travel a lot for DJ gigs and in order to find Fadoul's family (the fruits of this labour can be found here: https://habibifunkrecords.bandcamp.com/album/azmanah-salb). I spent some time in Morocco, Tunisia and Jordan. This mix is some of the music I found, a few trades are in there too. It's quite a colorful range. Disco from Algeria and Morocco, a James Brown cover from Egypt, a modern soul meets reggae hybrid from Tunisia, a new Fadoul track that the internet doesn't seem to know of yet and some other great bits and pieces. Come along to another journey to the funky side of the arab world.....
