Habibi Funk // حبيبي فنك : Zohra - Badala Zamana (Algeria, late 1970s, sung in Chaoui)

[@SG-dy5op]

No idea what’s being sung but this is a beautiful feel good factor of a song. I thank Avanti West Coast Train tv ad for bringing me! 🐢 👍🏻🙏

[@TheClarieM]

always notice ads with a tortoise! LOL! thankfully, CGI! I'm a tortoise owner! LOL! Not 'trying this at home'!

[@ornelladay2041]

Ditto, I've seen the advert a couple of times today, so of course delighted when Shazam knew it!

[@UKCoastwalk]

Same.... the tortoise brought me here... love this song, never heard it before the Avanti ad.

[@habibifunk]

Zohra / Dihya today: instagram.com/p/Cf1LgXEM9Aw/ --- A few people have been asking about the lyrics: "In short, it's about a group of girls dreaming about escaping and liberty. They push their luck by winning a big some of money. From now on they can sing and dance. The can finally live".

The time has changed, what will people say We are crazy for each other, what will people say The time has changed, what will people say We are crazy for each other, what will people say Without you, I can't stand this loneliness Someday my heart will beat for you Your memories are in my dreams I am waiting for you, with each breath Living without you is so difficult for me Now, every moment is waiting for you Your memories are in my dreams I am waiting for you, with each breath The time has changed, what will people say We are crazy for each other, what will people say

JUICE made me LOVE this tune!!

[@JuanFlores-zz4xi]

fell in love with this song from your boiler room set

[@eamsa5616]

She's singing in Kbayli (Northen Algeria's berber dialect) so I'm wondering why is it labeled as music from 'the arab world'

[@TheDrinkingBird]

More specifically Chawi, from Eastern Algeria, I believe (as opposed to Kbayli from the centre). It's not Arabic but arguably still from the Arab world.

[@habibifunk]

you are totally right. "arab world" is very reductive and it being used is only due to the limited space of a headline. the liner notes mention that 99% of her work was/is in choui.

[@atratshah7103]

Minor! We should celebrate that is has come to mainstream ❤

[@cb1710]

The direct translation of the of the song title is Badala = changed, and Zamana = world. Although this roughly translates to "Times have changed".
