Various Artists - A Selection of Music from Libyan Tapes (Habibi Funk 031) (2025) [Hi-Res]

Habibi Funk’s 31st release is a rare compilation of Libyan pop music sourced from cassette tapes found in Tunisia. Blending disco, reggae, house, funk, and pop with Arabic and African influences, this collection features raw, home-recorded tracks that were often politically restricted or little known beyond Libya. The result is a captivating, grainy, and nostalgic set of danceable and hypnotic tunes.
