ALBUM OF THE WEEK: SABABA 5 – SABABA 5 (BATOV RECORDS).
THE TEL-AVIV-BASED BAND SABABA 5 HAS BEEN MAKING WAVES WITH THEIR SPECIAL INSTRUMENTAL FUNK BLEND DRAWING INFLUENCES FROM AFRO DISCO, REGGAE, JAZZ, FUNK AND A PLETHORA OF MIDDLE EASTERN TRADITIONS. A UNIQUE PSYCHEDELIC GROOVE THAT BUILDS ON THE APPROACH THAT THE LIKES OF THE DAPTONES HAVE TAKEN TO WORKING INDEPENDENTLY, WRITING, PRODUCING AND RECORDING ORIGINAL MUSIC, WITH THEIR OWN MODERN TAKE ON 70S SOUL AND FUNK. WE PLAY 3 TRACKS FROM THE ALBUM ‘SABABA 5’ OUT ON BATOV RECORDS.
WE PLAY LAGOS THUGS’ ‘INNOCENT BLOOD’ TAKEN FROM OUR NEW COMPILATION ‘GLOBAL AFROBEAT MOVEMENT VOLUME 3’ ON NYP RECORDS. FROM OUR CHARITY COMPILATION ‘BE MY VOICE’ -GIVING A VOICE FOR THOSE FEMALES THAT CAN’T- WE PLAY A TRACK FROM KO SHIN MOON.
