Subhana

Description

Reggae in Libya has dominated the charts since its arrival in the 1970s and thrived with some of the Libyan reggae pioneers such as Ibrahim Hesnawi, Najib Alhoush and The White Birds Band. Composers like Ahmed Fakroun and Nasser Mizdawi also played with the genre, although they did not dedicate their sound to it. After an initial contact five years ago with Libyan music, Habibi Funk began searching for more contemporary recordings, and quickly came across Ahmed Ben Ali. Ben Ali is a Libyan singer and producer, whose YouTube channel at the time contained four songs. Despite the fact that these songs seem to be quite popular, the channel became inactive a few months after its launch. In the comments section, you can read glowing comments, not only from Libyans, but also from people around the world who seem to share a common passion for Ben Ali's sound. Generally speaking, there is no real master plan for finding the musicians with whom Habibi Funk would like to reissue music. Their work with Ahmed began with a 12-inch released with ""Subhana"" on the A-side and ""Damek Majeb"" on the B-side (track 4 on this release), which at the time were among the only songs we knew.
