Sababa 5 live in Portland

Experience Sababa 5 live on September 29th

Sababa 5 is scheduled to perform at The Jack London Revue in Portland, Oregon on September 29, 2026. The band presents a unique blend of Middle Eastern funk and psychedelic rock, drawing heavily on Israeli grooves from the 1970s. Their music incorporates elements of jazz improvisation and contemporary dance rhythms, creating a sound often described as energetic and danceable. Formed in the early 2010s, Sababa 5 aims to revive and reinterpret this specific era of Israeli music for modern audiences.

The Jack London Revue is a long-standing venue known for its intimate atmosphere and focus on live music. Originally opened in 1998 by Jack London (not the author), the space quickly became a fixture in Portland’s music scene. It’s characterized by its art deco design and relatively small capacity – approximately 250 people – fostering close interaction between performers and audience members. Throughout its history, The Jack London Revue has hosted a diverse range of acts, including jazz ensembles, blues artists, and various independent rock and world music groups. The venue maintains a reputation for supporting both established and emerging musicians.
