Bleep

Libyan artist Ahmed Ben Ali makes what he terms Libyan-style reggae. The description certainly holds for ‘Sibhana’s title-track, a rocksteady strut that is full of digi-dub tricks. However, while the other tune here, ‘Damek Majeb’, has some dancehall-indebted dembow about its beat, the overall effect of this slow dancefloor lope is of something more akin to Omar Souleyman’s recent output for Mad Decent. Instrumentals of both joints are also included on this Habibi Funk drop.
