Don't miss Habibi's first-ever headlining show in the Bay Area! In support of the re-release of their acclaimed self-titled debut album on Burger Records, the all-girl quintet make their way to the west coast.
All Ages Welcome
Brooklyn-based indie quartet Habibi were formed in the spring of 2011 by Detroit expatriates Rahill Jamalifard and Lenny Lynch, tapping into their Motown roots of simple but infectious pop melodies delivered with punkish attitude, and a middle-eastern flair. Jamalifard took lead vocal duties and Lynch played guitar and sang back-ups, and the lineup was rounded out by drummer Karen Isabel and bassist Leah Beth Fishman. They released a self-titled debut album of their dreamy-eyed and dancey pop in 2013 on Burger Records before taking a hiatus to focus on other projects. In a year fraught with political turbulence and cultural unease, Habibi’s first EP in over four years; significantly, the first one recorded in Farsi, came at a crucial time. The four-track effort, 'Cardamom Garden' quickly led to performances at the MoMA and Lincoln Center, and to acclaim by NPR, The New Yorker, and Pitchfork who praised its songs, "full of music that blends cultures, languages, and genres, with charming and intriguing results (...) shedding rigid definitions of what constitutes American music on the way to the band’s future."
