Hawalat is a rich and cinematic release from Charif Megarbane, blending Arabic influences, psychedelic funk, Mediterranean grooves, and warm instrumental textures.

Released on Habibi Funk Germany, the album moves between short, vivid pieces and fuller arrangements — from the sax-led energy of “Hanadi” to the dreamlike “Dreams Of An Insomniac,” the title track “Hawalat,” and the closing “Jana.”

The record feels like a journey through cities, memories, and moods — playful, soulful, experimental, and deeply rooted in the wider sound of the region.

This LP edition includes a booklet and is a strong addition for collectors of Habibi Funk, Arabic-influenced music, psychedelic funk, library-style sounds, and modern Middle Eastern grooves.
