About this product
Between the late 1960s and the mid-1980s, musicians across the Dutch Caribbean islands ofAruba, Curaçao, and Sint Maarten created music that crossed stylistic boundaries, forming aclose-knit network shaped by common histories and identities, while rarely receiving widerrecognition.From the psychedelic funk of local stars Sugar Ice Tea and Cryptus Confession to the Latininfluences of visiting musicians like Puerto Rican star Mon Rivera via Surinamese-influencedsoul and the garage rock of Los Honda, the islands nourished a huge array of styles andtalent.Antiyano Progresivo unfolds against the backdrop of a rapidly transforming Caribbean. Duringthe twentieth century, oil industries, migration and tourism reshaped the islands, creatingunparalleled cultural exchange while deepening social divisions. African, Latin American,North American and European musical traditions intertwined with local forms, producing arich and distinctive musical landscape. Tambú, tumba, calypso and Caribbean dance musiccoexisted alongside soul, funk, psychedelic rock, reggae, Latin music and American andBritish pop. Musicians moved fluidly between these styles, developing sounds that wereunmistakably local while remaining connected to wider currents across the Caribbean andbeyond.The period also coincided with growing movements for cultural and political self-determination. Events such as Curaçao's Trinta di Mei uprising in 1969, the emergence ofBlack Power movements and increasing calls for greater autonomy fostered renewed pride inAfrican heritage, local languages and cultural expression. These ideas resonated throughmusic, inspiring artists to challenge conventions and create work that reflected changingidentities.

Habibi Funk is dedicated to re-releasing a style of music that historically never existed as a musical genre. We use the term to describe a certain sound that we like from the countries of the Arab world. The songs we chose were created in places quite far from another and under very different circumstances. Some were written and recorded during war times, others in exile. Despite the differences, we think there is a musical connection between them. Essentially, we are interested in the musical endeavors, in which artists from the Arab world mixed local and regional influences with musical interests that came from outside of the region. Even though the name suggests it's all about funk music, our focus is more than just that. Often these influences might be inspired from Western popular music such as soul, pop and rock but it's not limited to that either. Some of our favorite records are best described as Arabic zouk (a genre originating from the Caribbean islands of Martinique and Guadeloupe) like Mallek Mohamed's music, Algerian coladera (a popular musical style from the Cape Verdean islands) or Lebanese AOR, which means the process of musical influences displayed on this compilation was much more versatile than just taking Western music as a blueprint and translating it with a local accent. The compilation features 15 different artists. Some you might already know thru Habibi Funk's releases like Fadoul, Ahmed Malek, Dalton or Al Massrieen, while others are meant as an introduction to artists like Kamal Keila, Sharhabeel Ahmed, Attarazat Addahabia & Mallek Mohamed who will all full length albums on Habibi Funk in 2018.
