Ahmed Malek - Musique Originale De Films: Deuxième Tome (Habibi Funk 027) '2024

Tracks list

We are more than thrilled to share a second collection of deep grooves and
unreleased songs from Algeria's Ahmed Malek sound track works with you. Ahmed
Malek who has often been compared to Ennio Morricone recorded the majority of
these songs in the 1970s and early 1980s. His first releases are standout
moments in Habibi Funk label history so we are more than happy to be able to
follow up with another presentation of his music in 2024.

Initially we got in touch with Ahmed’s music via youtube and then the
stars aligned to connect us with his family in Algeria. During one of those
visits many years ago his daughter Henia gave us a box full of master tapes that
her father had kept at home and this collection eventually played the foundation
for this release.

We were and still are mesmerized by how effortlessly the music would switch
between thematic jazz, funk and Algerian folk counterweighted with an undertone
of melancholia. Musical perception is different for every person, but there is a
good chance that Malek’s music will touch you in one way or another. As
Ahmed says, “I didn’t choose music, music chose me.”
