Description
From the Habibi Funk website: Were happy to announce our 27th release, a 7 by Libyan singer Cheb Bakr titled “Samh Almeaad,”, Our journey with Cheb Bakrs music began when Yousef Alhoush, whose father Najib Alhoush led The Free Music from Libya, generously lent us boxes of cassettes to digitize. For three days in a hotel room on Zamalek island in Cairo, we sifted through nearly 100 tapes, finally landing on several from Cheb Bakr that dated back to the late 1990s and early 2000s. His albums stood out for their fresh, genre-defying soundBakrs vocals flowed effortlessly over R&B and hip-hop beats with touches of jungle and drum and bass percussion We noticed familiar rap verses on a few of Bakrs tracksverses by none other than Ahmed Ben Ali, who was about to release an album with Habibi Funk. When we asked Ahmed about his connection with Bakr, he explained that theyd collaborated closely at Jamaica Studios in Benghazi.
