Spoon Fed

hosted by Sara Toumi

8:00 AM - 10:00 AM

An ode to the music that raised me, Spoon Fed dives into the vibrant world of Habibi Funk—a genre that fuses traditional Arabic lyricism with the funk, psychedelia, and raw rock of the '60s to '80s. Rooted in personal history and cultural celebration, this show traces the sounds of North Africa and the Middle East (MENA) through the lens of my Moroccan heritage. From Casablanca’s rock revival to the timeless voices of Fairuz and Umm Kulthum, each episode spotlights artists who shaped a defining epoch of the MENA soundscape and explores how their legacies have made a lasting impact. Spoon Fed invites you to dance and celebrate music that’s long existed in the margins— here, it takes center stage.
