Sababa 5 is scheduled to perform at Philamoca in Philadelphia, United States, on October 15, 2026. The group is a contemporary Israeli funk and jazz ensemble known for blending Middle Eastern musical traditions with elements of 1970s funk, soul, and jazz fusion. Their sound incorporates intricate instrumental arrangements, driving rhythms, and often features improvisation. Formed in the early 2010s, Sababa 5 has gained international recognition for its energetic live performances and unique sonic landscape.

Philamoca, officially the Philadelphia Museum of Art’s Perelman Building, functions as an annex to the main museum building. Opened in 2007 following a significant expansion project designed by Frank Gehry, it primarily hosts special exhibitions, rotating installations, and public programs. The building’s flexible spaces allow for diverse artistic presentations beyond the traditional museum display format; it frequently accommodates performance art and musical events alongside visual arts. It is located near the main museum building on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. The Perelman Building was intended to alleviate overcrowding in the main museum and broaden the scope of programming offered by the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
