Rogér is now in the studio recording new material. \n\n\n\nCharif is a polymath of the truest sorts – producer\, composer\, multi-instrumentalist who is prolific with his output (80 albums in 10 years!). His full length LP ‘Marzipan’ was released on Habibi Funk 2023 to critical acclaim\, including a feature as Bandcamp’s Album of the Day\, as well as praise from Time and The Skinny. Under his main alternative moniker Cosmic Analog Ensemble\, Charif also released “Les Grandes Vacances” in January 2024 to critical accolades\, including Bandcamp Album of the Day. Charif is set to release an eagerly-awaited new album in Spring 2025 via Habibi Funk. \n\n\n\nWhile Charif has toured live since the Marzipan release\, with sold out shows at Jazz Cafe in London\, Hosoi in Stockholm and Le Bellevilloise in Paris\, Rogér had not performed in public for decades – that is before he took to the stage of a sold out EartH in London in late 2024 – a truly special and emotional night\, which saw Charif perform his own set as well as performing as the backing band for Rogér too. \n\n\n\nTo Rogér’s humble surprise\, he witnessed full audience renditions of his songs – written discreetly over four decades ago – now connecting with a modern crowd of all ages and backgrounds. \n\n\n\nTogether\, Charif and Rogér now look forward to bringing this truly unique show to cities around Europe for the very first time. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBoost the signal:\n Click to share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n WhatsApp URL:https://groovement.co.uk/listing/roger-fakhr-charif-megarbane-habibi-funk-band-on-the-wall/ LOCATION:Band On The Wall\, 27 Swan St\, Manchester\, M4 5JZ\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Live Gig ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://groovement.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/roger.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20250503T190000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20250503T230000 DTSTAMP:20260414T204855 CREATED:20241202T210903Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250119T202138Z UID:34013-1746298800-1746313200@groovement.co.uk SUMMARY:Greentea Peng / Albert Hall DESCRIPTION:Boost the signal:\n Click to share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n WhatsApp URL:https://groovement.co.uk/listing/greentea-peng/ LOCATION:Albert Hall\, 27 Peter St\, Manchester\, M2 5QR CATEGORIES:Featured Events,HIP HOP GIGS,Live Gig ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://groovement.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/GdyN1zbWYAAZsI5.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20250426T120000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20250426T230000 DTSTAMP:20260414T204855 CREATED:20250331T205056Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250331T205058Z UID:34914-1745668800-1745708400@groovement.co.uk SUMMARY:Fiesta Groovement @ Freight Island - Sparkz & Pitch 92\, Jenna G\, DJ Rasp\, La Presidenta\, DJAY ANA MAY DESCRIPTION:Super happy to announce Fiesta Groovement with our fam Freight Island and Contrast Entertainment – hip hop\, soul and tropical sounds. \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nSparkz & Pitch 92 celebrate Full Circle\, their debut LP on High Focus Records and we’re joined by 3xDMC champ DJ Rasp – plus soul\, bass and tropical sounds with DJ sets from the wonderful Jenna G\, La Presidenta and #DJayAnaMay. \n\n\n\nIt’s good times all day from 12pm through to 11pm.
