Sababa 5 are a Paris-based band known for their hypnotic blend of Middle Eastern psychedelia, Mediterranean funk, and analog groove. Their sound fuses swirling organs, surf guitars, and irresistible rhythms into a style both nostalgic and forward-looking — rooted in vintage tones but always evolving. After gaining global attention with the single "Tokyo Midnight / Nasnusa", featuring Japanese singer Yurika, the band continued to explore new directions through collaborations and live performances across Europe. Their self-titled debut album and the follow-up, Aspan, deepened their signature sound: a rich, instrumental fusion of funk, disco, and Eastern melodies.
In recent years, Sababa 5 have expanded their musical palette through projects with vocalists including Shiran Tzfira, Inbal Nur Dekel, Yurika Hanashima, and Indian singer Sophia Solomon — balancing analog depth with cross-cultural energy. Known for their captivating live shows, Sababa 5 brings an immersive experience that blends groove, improvisation, and vibrant sonic textures — connecting with audiences across Europe and beyond. In 2025, they unveil Nadir, their fourth and most ambitious album to date. Marking a new creative high, Nadir dives deeper into emotion, texture, and groove — the sound of a band unafraid to move forward.
