Habibi Funk, a Berlin-based record label brought to life by Jannis Stürtz, pays due respect to songs that were hits in the Arab music world during the 60s, 70s, and 80s but went unnoticed by the rest of the world. With a wide selection of records ranging from old Algerian coladeras to Lebanese grooves, Egyptian disco to Moroccan funk, Habibi Funk possesses a deep collection focused on the Arab music world. The team reintroduces names like Ahmed Malek, Al Masrieen, Fadoul, and Daltan from Central Asia and North Africa to the world while setting an important standard by bringing the past into the present with recorded mixes.
