Sinkane's new album 'We Belong' is out now on City Slang!
Ahmed Gallab of Sinkane has always paved his own way, defying all odds and beating expectations. With seven albums under his belt and an illustrious career as a composer, producer, and band leader, he has orchestrated remarkable projects. Born to Sudanese parents and raised as a skate punk kid in Ohio, Gallab’s music is his personal story, but it's also everyone's story. This truly universal approach leaves no room for irony or cynicism. Fueled by Gallab's very heartbeat, it erupts into an ambitious, dazzling sound.
Sinkane fuses elements of krautrock, electronica, reggae, and funk rock with Sudanese pop to create music inspired by his experiences. Prior to embarking on his solo career, he worked with Eleanor Friedberger, Caribou and more as a session musician. As Band Leader and Music Director of the Atomic Bomb! Band, he’s collaborated with group members including David Byrne, Money Mark, Damon Albarn and many others.
