Ali’s blend of 1970s Indonesian psychedelic funk, Melayu traditions, disco grooves and Arab melodic forms meets Charif’s long-running exploration of cross-regional sound, rooted in a shared musical vocabulary rather than genre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRather than approaching the project as fusion, \u003cem\u003eTirakat\u003c\/em\u003e reflects a way of making music that feels already interconnected. Melodies, grooves and textures move fluidly without signalling their sources, grounded in a performance-led process shaped by intuition, repetition and trust. Western instruments are played through techniques and sensibilities formed in Indonesia and Lebanon, emphasising circulation of influence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe title \u003cem\u003eTirakat\u003c\/em\u003e refers to a Javanese practice of discipline, patience and devotion, derived from the Arabic tariqa (“path” or “method”). This layered meaning mirrors the album’s focus on process and continuity. The result is a record that feels both contemporary and timeless, where Indonesian and Arab sounds intersect naturally through groove, texture and melody.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Habibi Funk Records","offers":[{"title":"LP - Vinyl","offer_id":57362974736729,"sku":"SDZ-00956","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/files\/Ali_and_Charif_Megarbane_-_Tirakat_-_2026.jpg?v=1771843473","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/ali-and-charif-megarbane-tirakat","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
