Alsarah - Sudan

In this episode we’re joined by Sudanese musician and ethnomusicologist, Alsarah — lead vocalist of Alsarah & the Nubatones. We speak about the weaponisation of music as propaganda by a repressive state, both historically and in the wake of Sudan’s 2018/2019 revolution. We also chat through the failure of the nation state, orientalism as it relates to East & North Africa, as well as the legacies of not just European colonialism, but also that of the Turk and so-called Arab empire in the region.

Special thanks to Tamador Sheikh Aldeen for her guest appearance in this episode.

This episode was co-produced by Zara Julius & Alsarah
