Led by Sudanese-American multi-instrumentalist Ahmed Gallab, Sinkane resists genre. It’s pop. It’s funk. It’s electronic. It blends the gritty punk newness of a 70s and 80s New York with the steady, foundational soul of the rhythms of his native Sudan. The band pulses with the energy of different eras and forms, celebrating freedom. Freedom to create, to move, to love, to live.
“It’s Psychedelic-era Temptations with Blaxploitation grooves” “If any artist deserves to swerve around a borderless Earth with a real World Passport, it’s the London-born, Sudanese artist Ahmed Gallab… you’llhear fragments of sub-Saharan pop, shoegaze, afro-rock, electronica, krautrock, and everything in
between—all melded into his own funky blend.” Pitchfork
