A Sudanese American singer and ethnomusicologist leading Alsarah & the Nubatones, reviving East African retro pop for a new generation.
Sarah Mohamed Abunama-Elgadi, performing as Alsarah, leads Alsarah & the Nubatones, a Brooklyn based group built around a genre she and her collaborators call East African retro pop, reviving the sound of 1970s Sudanese and East African popular music.
Trained as an ethnomusicologist, she brings a scholar's attention to the music's history alongside a performer's instinct for what makes it move a room.
