Alibabki - Topic

Alibabki was a Polish all-female vocal band active during 1963-1988. All the performers resided in Warsaw. Their major musicals styles were pop music, "big beat", and ska. They performed both as an individual band and as a support group for various musicians. Alone and together with other artists, Alibabki performed about 2000 songs. Their singing was used in a number of Polish films. Occasionally the group name is incorrectly referred to as Ali-babki. The band was a recipient of multiple awards.
The name of the band is a pun, a portmanteau of "Ali Baba" and "babki", the latter word being a colloqiallism for "women", an example of exoticism in pop music of Communist Poland.
