Alsarah & the Nubatones

Alsarah is a Sudanese born singer, songwriter, bandleader and a somewhat reluctant ethnomusicologist.

"The music she's created in the U. S borrows the scintillating polyrythms and snaking melodies of Sudan, but she and her sharp band energize it with dashes of funk and hip hop, finding clear pathways from Nubia to New York." Chicago Reader
