And also read more about Habeys: Group of friends formed Habeys Boduberu Group on 7th Auguest 2011, and now it’s one of the most famous, young and talented boduberu group in the country. We prepared lots of new creations with boduberu. Boduberu evolved among the common citizens as an alternative to court music. In the early days, the people gathered together to perform Boduberu, and it became widely accepted as the music of the common people. The performing of the music is often referred as “vibrating the island”. A notable point about Boduberu is its noise and sometimes meaningless lyrics sung. The lyrics do not have a meaning, because it consists of a mixture of local, neighbouring and some African words. Today, meaningful songs written in the local language Dhivehi are sung to the rhythm of Boduberu. Boduberu is usually sung after a hard day’s work. The location is up to the performers. Today, Boduberu is an important item of entertainment at stage shows, celebrations and festivals.

The name "Habeys" defines in English as Awesome.
Originally formed as a Boduberu band comprising of close group of friends. Habeys Boduberu was formed on 07th August 2011 in Male', Maldives. What started out as a hobby for the seven members have grown into a band of 27 members and have now become the most popular bands of the genre with the largest fan base in Maldives. This is due to the hard work and diligence of all of our members which also accounts for our numerous skills and achievements.
Although we mainly use the traditional Maldivian style of Boduberu songs, the heavy influence of special cultural acts in our songs make us unique from the established and up coming bands in Maldives.
Initially the band used to perform at different events using different Traditional Maldivian dances, songs & other cultural activities. And with each event, our popularity continued to soar at an astonishing pace.
In addition to the member's genius for music & entertainment, we also had a vision and sound business knowledge to create and develop “Habeys” into a brand synonymous with the most unique music & entertainment brand in Maldives. To this end, we first launched the “Habeys” website in 2012. This is the first website in Maldives launched by Boduberu artists. The launching of our website opened up a world of opportunities for the band and our members in terms of international exposure. It lead to us getting the opportunity to represent Maldives and perform at the World Music Day Festival in 2012 and 2013. This is one of our greatest accomplishments and proved to be the stepping stone to an even more successful future.
Habeys is the only music band who performed at 56+ performances at 30+ different Islands through out Maldives. And also we have performed at multiple countries such as Egypt , Singapore , Malaysia & SriLanka.

Following it was the launch of our first audio album Jinni which is an original Habeys production and was also recorded at our own studio.

It was widely recognized as a 100% original Maldivian production which is a rare occurrence. It is available at iTunes store and different international and local music stores.
Second album "Zamaan" released on 28th May 2017. This album is the first of its kind, from our series of Nasheed albums, which we will be releasing every year specially for ramadan, Which is to be distributed to everyone as a gift from us Habeys, and the very first of its type of full HD video Nasheed album ever to be released In Maldives.

The next step forward for Habeys brand was the launch of our very own pop band “ Habeys Pop” in 2014. Now the pop band was re branded as "Levitation By Habeys". The aim of this band is to uphold the Maldivian tradition without losing our traditional values, rites and rituals. We continue to learn and practice the many traditional activities of our ancestors which has somehow become lost over the years and will continue to maintain our identity as an original Maldivian band.
And our 3rd Band "Gravity By Habeys formed in 2016 under Habeys Boduberu, Gravity is a Maldivian rock/metal band comprising of multi talented and experienced musicians, highly reputed of the current music scene. Leading the frontline is Muazzin while on guitars are Shahyd legacy and Reeburi. On bass Jessy and Hamdh on drums. The lineup came together as good friends who performed with each other previously at various gigs but never together.
With major inspirations deriving from the rock and metal genre, Gravity aims to introduce a new era of Maldivian rock. With a progressive style and sound Gravity brings to the table a unique take on Maldivian art and music. As the name implies, Gravity by Habeys is surely a force like nothing else.
