Where Vintage Sudan Meets Brooklyn Beats

Alsarah & The Nubatones is an East-African Retro-Pop music group led by Alsarah, a singer, songwriter, and bandleader born in Sudan. The band’s sound is influenced by Nubian “songs of return,” modern migration patterns, and cultural exchanges between Sudan and Egypt.

Their discography includes two full-length albums with Wonderwheel Recordings: Silt (2014) and Manara (2016), both of which also have remixed versions (Silt Remixed in 2014 and Manara Remixed in 2017). Alsarah also released Aljawal (2013) with French electronic producer Débruit and was featured on The Nile Project’s debut CD, Aswan (2014).

The current lineup includes Alsarah (voice, melodies), Nahid (back vocal, keyboards), Mawuena Kodjovi (bass/trumpet), Brandon Terzic (oud), and Rami El Aasser (percussion & drums).

Alsarah & The Nubatones have performed over 170 shows across three continents, at prestigious festivals and venues such as Glastonbury, Roskilde, Les Nuits de Fourvière, and SXSW. They have also been featured on various radio and TV shows, including NPR Tiny Desk and KEXP Live.
