Ahmed Fakroun  - Njoom al lyel

Pre-order: https://habibifunkrecords.bandcamp.com/album/al-zman-saib

We're very happy to announce our second Habibi Funk re-release by Fadoul, Morocco's answer to James Brown.

8 tracks of raw Arabic funk music, none of these have ever been reissued before. Up until recently Fadoul (or Fadaul, or Faddoul, the transcribtion of his name to latin letters differs) had not been rediscovered, as a matter of fact most of those songs still left no trace whatsoever in the world wide web. It took us 2 years and countless trips to Morocco to find the artists family to license the release from them. 

"Is that Arabic?  Very FUXXXING COOL!!“
DJ Nu-Mark (Jurassic 5)

From the press release:
“There was one record in particular that caught my attention. It was by a band called „Fadaul et les Privileges“ and mentioned James Brown in the writing credits of the song „Sid Redad“ on the a-side. Needless to say my expectations were high. The first time I heard the record I was blown away. A cover of James Brown’s „Papa got a brand new bag“ sung in arabic and backed by a rawly recorded three piece band. It’s hard to describe the music without having listened to it, but as time went by I somehow ended up summarizing it as Arabic funk played with a punk attitude. A description, that I feel, comes fairly close. Soon I became obsessed by the record but nobody seemed to know anything about the vinyl or the artists, even google didn’t help. A true gem forgotten about through the passages of time. I kept on traveling to Morocco trying to find infos about the artists, which did not end up being fruitful during the first couple of trips. What kept me going was the fact that over the course of the next years I kept on finding different records by Fadoul, in the end a total of four. They all had the raw sound aesthetic of „Sid Redad“. Energetic performances, a mighty voice and a very lively atmosphere that was preserved in the recordings.”

Fadoul - Al Zman Saib // الزمان صعيب (pre-order link in the description)

2 hours of musical highlights, selected after 3 weeks of happy record hunting in the streets of Cairo. A joyful but rather tough experience!
This mix contains Egyptian music only from the 60's and 70's when Cairo was the cultural heart of the Middle East.
All tracks are recorded from original 45rpm or Lp.
Enjoy this surprising trip from the flirty streets of Alexandria to the gypsies from Luxor and the Nubian desert.



The 'unknown' tracks are not listed, because of licence agreements we are working on.

RMLP005 Zamaan Ya Sukkar - Al Thoulathy Al Mareh - Asmar Ya Sukkar

Un voyage personnel, collage multi-dimensionnel, dans l'univers de M. Taha - l'artiste, l'homme engagé, l'homme-monde. 
On y entend les témoignages d'artistes pour qui l'influence de Rachid Taha a été déterminante : Sabrina Bellaouel, Sarah Benabdallah de Mauvais Oeil, la DJ Missy Ness. 
On y entend une sélection de morceaux de Rachid Taha : sélection collective à laquelle ont participé Sofiane Saïdi, Cheb Gero, Habibi Funk.
On y croise un philosophe et une foule bigarrée composée de révolutionnaires, d'énervés, de gueules cassées : Gilles Deleuze ("Qu’est-ce que l’acte de création?"), Bérurier Noir, Charanjit Singh, Ennio Morricone, Serge Reggiani.
On y entend des extraits d'émissions : "Rachid Taha, retour en Algérie"; une interview par Télérama... Ou un JT sur la Marche des « beurs » en 1983. 
On y entend un field recording du va-et-vient des vagues qui voguent, en Mer Méditerrannée... 
Je crois surtout qu'en écoutant bien on y entend le pouls de la vie. 
Rachid, ton courage nous porte et nous inspire. Merci !
