Alsarah & The Nubatones came together out of a collective love for Nubian music and a genuine belief that Soul transcends all cultural and linguistic barriers. Inspired by the pentatonic scale they blend a selection of Nubian ‘songs of return’ from the 1970s-today with original material and traditional music of central Sudan. Their set is a musical journey through diaspora and migration from an urban lens.

“singer Alsarah is starting to burn.... she’s released her debut album, Silt, and it’s got all the deep rhythms, fluttering vocals and serious grooves we were hoping for. ”
