Often these influences might be inspired from Western popular music such as soul, pop and rock but it\u2019s not limited to that either. Some of our favorite records are best described as Arabic zouk (a genre<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>originating from the Caribbean islands of Martinique and Guadeloupe), Algerian coladera (a popular musical style from the Cape Verdean islands) or Lebanese bossa, 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.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;<\/span>At the same time we do not want anyone to misunderstand this compilation as a selection of songs to represent Arabic musical history of the 1970s and 1980s. We would never dare to state anything going in this direction. This compilation is nothing more than a very personal curation of songs we like and in no way reflects on what has been popular in a general sense.&#8221;<\/em> add the label<span style=\"font-size: 18px; font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><em><a style=\"color: #333333;\" href=\"https:\/\/habibifunkrecords.bandcamp.com\/album\/habibi-funk-007-an-eclectic-selection-of-music-from-the-arab-world\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">An eclectic selection of music from the Arab world<\/a>,\u00a0<\/em><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Habibi Funk \/ Jakarta Records<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10439\" src=\"https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Habibi-Funk-An-eclectic-selection-of-music-from-the-Arab-world.jpg\" alt=\"Habibi Funk An eclectic selection of music from the Arab world\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Habibi-Funk-An-eclectic-selection-of-music-from-the-Arab-world.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Habibi-Funk-An-eclectic-selection-of-music-from-the-Arab-world-759x759.jpg 759w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Habibi-Funk-An-eclectic-selection-of-music-from-the-Arab-world-1010x1010.jpg 1010w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Habibi-Funk-An-eclectic-selection-of-music-from-the-Arab-world-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Habibi-Funk-An-eclectic-selection-of-music-from-the-Arab-world-661x661.jpg 661w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Habibi-Funk-An-eclectic-selection-of-music-from-the-Arab-world-465x465.jpg 465w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Habibi-Funk-An-eclectic-selection-of-music-from-the-Arab-world-375x375.jpg 375w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Habibi-Funk-An-eclectic-selection-of-music-from-the-Arab-world-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Habibi-Funk-An-eclectic-selection-of-music-from-the-Arab-world-85x85.jpg 85w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Habibi-Funk-An-eclectic-selection-of-music-from-the-Arab-world-73x73.jpg 73w\" sizes=\"(min-width:1010px) 759px,100vw\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><em>Read next:<\/em>\u00a0<a style=\"color: #333333;\" href=\"https:\/\/pan-african-music.com\/en\/imarhan-azzaman\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Touareg band Imarhan is getting funky<\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>German record label Habibi Funk releases its first compilation: 16\u00a0tracks of funk, soul\u00a0and jazz recorded from the 70&#8217;s\u00a0of Soudan, Liban, Morocco and Egypt.
