Biography

Habbina Habbina rewires the boundaries of Mediterranean nostalgia and vintage surf rock with irresistible flair. Led by Brooklyn-based Israeli guitarist Amit Peled, the trio embarks on a cinematic sonic journey where East meets West, tradition meets rebellion, and twang-drenched guitars tell tales beyond words. Rooted in the spirit of golden-age surf pioneers like Dick Dale and Link Wray, yet laced with echoes of Aris San, Ennio Morricone, and psychedelic Tel Aviv dancehalls, their music is a kaleidoscope of genres, eras, and emotions.

Forging their own “retro-Mediterranean” sound, Habbina Habbina’s electrifying performances evoke everything from spaghetti westerns under Levantine skies to late-night weddings on desert highways. Their sets are hypnotic, witty, and deeply evocative—swinging between high-octane instrumental fervor and moments of almost mystical groove.

Their unique aesthetic has earned them a cult following across continents, praised for their ability to blend kitsch and elegance, rhythm and reverie. Equal parts celebration and reinterpretation, Habbina Habbina invites listeners to rediscover the poetry of nostalgia through a modern, sun-soaked lens.
