Re-Releasing Funk, Disco, and Rock From the Arab World

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Feb 8, 2022

The Berlin-based record label Habibi Funk creates curated albums of re-released or newly discovered tracks from all around the Arab world, from the 1950s to the 1980s. The albums feature Lebanese folk, Moroccan disco, Sudanese jazz, and much more. Co-founder and curator Jannis Stürtz joins us to discuss his process for finding these tracks, and we'll listen to some music.
