Café Habibi cannot be placed in a box. You cannot attach a label to it. You cannot stamp a passport on it. From Arabic floor‑fillers to opera, soul, gospel and alternative rock – everything constantly alternates. Like a globe on legs. The singers create a rousing mix of languages and cultures. It hits you right in the heart and in the hips.

At festivals such as Down The Rabbit Hole and Into The Great Wide Open, in pop venues and even at the stately King’s Day concert of the royal family, audiences danced to a band with an irresistible groove.
