The Slam Years 1983 1988

Description

New full album dedicated to Hamid El Shaeri’s work on Egyptian SLAM! Hamid El Shaeri is the artist behind Habibi Funk’s most popular song to date, “Ayonha,” originally reissued in 2017 on the first Habibi Funk Compilation. We first heard the track while working on the selection of tracks for your first compilation and we immediately loved it. We had obviously heard of Hamid El Shaeri’s music before, but only material from his Al Jeel phase, when he was already the superstar he is now in his own right. Listening to his early 1980s releases opened up a whole new door for us. At the time, Hamid had just left Libya to pursue his career in Egypt via a detour through London, where he recorded his first album.
