Free Your Funk: La Nuit Habibi Funk

La Bellevilloise hosts an evening dedicated to "Habibi Funk" sounds, a musical movement that explores funk, soul, and psychedelic gems from the Arab world of the 60s and 70s.

The Habibi Funk label, founded by Jannis Stürtz, has become a benchmark for rediscovering rare and forgotten music, primarily from the Middle East and North Africa. It shines a light on artists like Fadoul and Ahmed Malek, whose works blend catchy rhythms, powerful brass, and oriental melodies. This "Free Your Funk" night is an invitation to dive into these unique grooves, often recorded in complex political and cultural contexts, and which resonate today with new energy.

On stage, DJs Habibi Funk, Darone Sassounian, and Soulist will take turns on the decks to offer a sonic journey. Expect a dynamic set, where rare vinyls follow one another to create a festive and danceable atmosphere. These carefully curated selections promise an evening where musical discovery is at the heart of the experience, far beyond the usual hits.

La Bellevilloise, with its warm atmosphere and eclectic audience, is the ideal setting for this sonic exploration. The evening is aimed at world music, funk, and soul lovers eager to discover unknown gems and dance to rhythms from elsewhere. It's an opportunity to appreciate the richness and diversity of Arab music scenes from past decades.
