The SLAM! Years: 1983 - 1988 (Habibi Funk 018) by Hamid El Shaeri - DeepRiffs

ALBUM

German DJ Jannis Stürtz started the Habibi Funk label with a mission: shed light on great, semi-forgotten pop music from the Arab-speaking world for new, global audiences. The focus isn’t tradition, but hybridization: Western-style sounds translated with heavy regional inflection. (“Habibi” meaning “darling” or “my dear”; “funk” meaning nothing in particular, but needing no translation.) Take this collection of Egypt-via-Lybia singer Hamid El Shaeri’s mid-’80s work on the SLAM! label: the ABBA-meets-folk flutes of “Reet,” or the yacht-ready disco-lite of “Ayonha”—stylish, effervescent, familiar with a touch of the exotic. As a listener, the fun isn’t just in the raw experience of the music itself (though it is fun!), but in the mind-expanding play between the sounds you know and the ones you don’t.
