About this release
A Selection From Libyan Tapes explores Libya's cassette scene from the late eighties to the early 2000s. Habibi Funk's compilation brings together disco, reggae, pop, house and funk recorded in small studios and circulated through local tape networks. Cheb Bakr, Ahmed Ben Ali, Khaled Al Melody and the White Bird Band feature alongside groups including Hewaya, City Lights Band and Libya Music Band. The selection draws on tapes recovered in Tunisia and recordings digitised during the label's research, tracing connections between musicians and audiences across the region. This fifteen-track double LP includes a 32-page booklet with artist interviews and stories.
