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, Tirakat 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 Tirakat 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntro\u003cbr\u003eAbaday\u003cbr\u003eMosaics\u003cbr\u003eKuda Arab\u003cbr\u003eMata Api\u003cbr\u003eAhmad’s Lament\u003cbr\u003eJamal\u003cbr\u003eA Ladder on the Balcony\u003cbr\u003eBandar Batavia\u003cbr\u003eOmbak, Ombak\u003cbr\u003eFrag Men Ted Mea Ning\u003cbr\u003ePekojan Funk\u003cbr\u003eSilk End\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Integral","offers":[{"title":"LP Black - HABIBI034LP","offer_id":56097348944251,"sku":"H4","price":22.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD - HABIBI034CD","offer_id":56097348977019,"sku":null,"price":14.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0271\/3020\/0134\/files\/a0206727659_10.jpg?v=1771670112","url":"https:\/\/www.mixeduprecords.com\/products\/charif-megarbane-ali-tirakat","provider":"Mixed Up Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
