WOMADELAIDE 2001 program highlights
  The Habibis (Australia)
1999 ARIA Award winners for Best World Music Album, Melbourne group The haBiBis play intoxicating music from Greece and the Eastern Mediterranean in the ‘down under’ style.  They are regulars on the major folk and world music festivals’ circuit around Australia;  recently supported Angelique Kidjo in Australia;  and their music was featured on the soundtrack for the film Head On.

“The five haBiBis weave the guitar, oud and bouzouki with consummate ease, in wide chiming choruses and intricate dances over which….voices cast seductive spells”, Rolling Stone.
