Music from Sudan: afikra Mixtape
This mixtape was compiled by Khaled Malas from the afikra Community team and brings together old and new music from Sudan. The cover was inspired by the inaugural issue of the Journal of Sudanese Folklore, published in 1983 by the students of the Department of Folkloric Studies at the Institute of African and Asian Studies at Khartoum University. We discovered a copy of it via the awesome Vatrina Bookstore. The mixtape is only a brief introduction to the rich musical heritage of Sudan. Below are three of the musicians that were featured: make sure to go and explore more of their music, as well as the work of the other great musicians on this mixtape.
