Alsarah & the Nubatones

Alsarah & The Nubatones came together out of a collective love for Nubian music and a genuine belief that Soul transcends all cultural and linguistic barriers. Inspired by the pentatonic scale, they blend a selection of Nubian “songs of return” from the 1970s through today with original material as well as traditional music of central Sudan. Their set is a musical journey through diaspora and migration from an urban viewpoint.  Alsarah is a Sudanese born singer, songwriter, and ethnomusicologist. Born in the capital city of Khartoum, where she spent the first eight years of her life, she relocated to Taez, Yemen with her family to escape the ever stifling regime in her native country.
