Sababa 5

Sababa 5 is a Tel Aviv-based psychedelic groove collective blending retro Middle Eastern funk, surf rock, and global beats with a modern twist. Founded around 2018, the band revives vintage Israeli and Mediterranean sounds while collaborating with international artists, creating a multilingual dancefloor vibe that nods to '60s/’70s psychedelia. Their tracks like "Shehzadi" (featuring Hindi/Urdu vocals) and "Bitter Moon" (with Hebrew/Yiddish titles) showcase their cross-cultural fusion, often pairing oud and surf guitar over hypnotic rhythms. Recent Japanese/Hebrew hybrid releases like "Halilim Halilim" and "Kokoro" highlight their playful genre-blurring, while vinyl-focused drops like "Bezani" cater to retro-loving audiophiles. Known for energetic live shows, they’ve become staples at psychedelic and world music festivals, embodying a sun-soaked, borderless dance party ethos.
