Contributed by: Fred Rafael Rednor. Habib Galbi by A-Wa (i.e. the Chaim sisters and their band) .

Habib Galbi (“Love Of My Heart”) – The lyrics are actually in Judeo-Arabic, but some of the words are recognizable due to their similarity to Hebrew; for example, “eyni” which is Arabic for the Hebrew “eynai” (my eyes). This is actually a traditional song done in Reggae style, with some American Soul music influences.

This is another example of modern Israeli pop music which melds Middle Eastern and Western influences. Learn More.
