- When singer Alsarah left her native Sudan, she was just a child who'd shown an interest in music. She's said it served as her coping mechanism during a subsequent transition to life here in the U.S. That passion led her to a university degree in ethnomusicology.
It also drew her to musicians who were passionate about the intersection of culture, music and migration. Together, their one-of-a-kind expression has been called "East African retro pop." But that tag only scratches the surface: In their hands, the music pulses, breathes and comes alive with a mix of tradition and contemporary influences.
Alsarah and her band The Nubatones mesmerize and enchant in this performance behind Bob Boilen's Desk. They undoubtedly opened new worlds for more than a few who saw the performance live, so it's a pleasure to share it with the world.

The harmonic interplay between the two women's voices is hypnotic. Love this.

HOW I LOVE THE SUDANESE PENTATONIC SCALE
What is different from the conventional pentatonic?
I'd truly thankful for the opportunity to hear this ensemble, great instrumentation and vocal prowess (which I didn't understand). I really dig what I perceive the world music vibe, I look forward to spending more time with their music.
beauty, devotion, creativity, and respect for the telling of the story through music. thank you

I'll certainly follow these girls, this tribal sound original from our mother earth as a Latin American woman my skin is chilling by the music sounds
I don't understand one word in these songs but I was really touched and now I want to learn more

Anyways, amazing, I first discovered Alsarah thanks to her collaboration album with Debruit which is amazing and amongst my most listened album ever, and well this new album with her usual band is amazing too. Fulani is my fav song, as always great music selection for NPR's tiny desk =).

Gucci recommended the Nubatones
Inspired
what is that thing moving up and down on her neck freaking me out.. amazing songs ...
wish I knew what they were saying, but she can sing
Love her style too
What a charm !
not a physician, but has the lump at the base of Alsarah's neck always been there? I watched a video from 4 years ago to check and I'm not sure if it's just age or something to check on with her thyroid/something related? Just a note!
Hi jumana
Yes you are right, it is harmless condtion of thyroid called thyroglossal ( glossal_ tongue) cyst , it is something related to early journey of the gland toward its future postion at the neck
oooo I love this
Mashallah !!
The world just need more PENTATONIC
Gucci led me here
howd gucci lead you here tho?
Amazing
this is so enchanting! :D
