Album - Black Vinyl
Genre: Reggae
Habibi Funk is proud to present Ibrahim Hesnawi, otherwise known as “The Father of Libyan Reggae.” Kingston meets Tripoli in this fiery collection of Arabized roots, dub, dancehall and more. Born and raised in Tripolis, the capital of Libya, Hesnawi initially was not interested in music, however he credits Bob Marley as foundational to changing his life. Bob Marley was THE artist that brought Reggae to Libya. The two disparate musical cultures weren’t that far apart, on the contrary, local musicians intertwined these influences quite fluidly. Libyan reggae borrows elements from its own culture, and is usually accompanied by a steady marching tempo, a significant hallmark of wedding chants. An effortless synthesis of Jamaican reggae and traditional Libyan sonics is featured throughout Hesnawi’s catalogue.
