The Habibiyya (1972)

 

Sufi musical brotherhood that includes three-fifths of the disbanded Mighty Baby! 

Confortable with ethnic influences, the only album of Habibiyya shares similarities with L.A.'s Kaleidoscope, London's Third Ear Band, Milan's Aktuala, with the use of instruments such as koto and shakuhachi sometimes creating oriental rather than arabic-inspired atmospheres. 

Susan Archuletta in the line-up is none other than Susan Graubard in Pat Kilroy's band years before. Rare original U.K. Island Help 1972.
