The newest slab from the iconic Berlin-based global music clearinghouse Habibi Funk pays respect to Sharhabil Ahmed, a leading voice within the region’s mid-century jazz sphere. Transitioning the vocal-based haqiba traditional music of the early decades of the 1900s, Sharhabil’s recordings incorporated the contemporary sounds of samba, surf rock, and African rhythms into an energetic proto-jazz-funk ride.
