Alibabki was a Polish all-female vocal band active during 1963-1988 (with a hiatus during the 1980s). All the performers resided in Warsaw.[1] Their major musicals styles were pop music, "big beat", and ska. They performed both as an individual band and as a support group for various musicians.[2] Alone and together with other artists, Alibabki performed about 2000 songs.[1] Their singing was used in a number of Polish films.[2][3] Occasionally the group name is incorrectly referred to as Ali-babki.[4] The band was a recipient of multiple awards.
The name of the band is a pun, a portmanteau of "Ali Baba" and "babki", the latter word being a colloqiallism for "women", an example of exoticism in pop music of Communist Poland. [5]
