Subhana

Libyan Reggae at its peak grooves courtesy of Benghazi-born Ahmed Ben Ali. After working with Ahmed in 2020 on the 12" hit "Subhana", Habibi Funk is back with a full-length release focusing on Ahmed's releases from the mid-2000s.

The tracks on the LP represent a blisteringly deep collection of heavy reggae rhythms and synthesized grooves from a singular creative force, inspired as much from Jamaican sonics as from Libyan folkloric styles. As Ahmed says, "it's the Libyan style, not some bullshit."

Both vinyl and CD come with an extensive booklet featuring background on Ahmed, including unseen photos, scans, and more.
