Neuigkeit vom 31.08.2022Sababa 5 (ISR)

Sababa 5 brings together a group of musicians already well known for their work with some of Tel Aviv’s top artists/vocalists – the likes of Gili Yalo, Ester Rada, and Liraz Charhi, as well as with famous groups Hoodna Orchestra, Tigris, and Kutiman Orchestra.

With members’ influences that range from wrecking crew recordings from the ’60s, to analog Middle Eastern music from the ’70s, the sound of the band constantly revolves around different genres and rhythms, yet, in its core, ‘Sababa 5’ is always a groove-centric band.

The main sources of inspiration for the band are the nostalgic “beat groups” from Israel that played innovative combinations of psychedelic rock mixed with Mediterranean Arab music during the 60’s and 70’s.

The music of Sababa 5 centers around mediterranean rhythms and melodies, together with sounds from the world of rock and psychedelic funk, creating a real mix of east and west. In the summer of 2022 the band will release a four-song EP collaboration with Israeli Yemenite singer Shiran Ztfira, and
later that year Sababa 5 will release their eponymously titled debut album on Batov Records.

The prolific team behind Sababa 5 also have a number of 7 inch singles due in the meantime, which feature a selection of singers as well as instrumental music.
