Alsarah & the Nubatones unite audiences across ages, languages, and ethnicities drawn to their infectious brand of east African retropop. Influenced by ancient Nubian songs of return and modern migration patterns, the Brooklyn-based group was born out of conversations between singer-songwriter Alsarah and percussionist Rami El Aasser about the cultural exchange between Sudan and Egypt. Sharing a common love for the richness of pentatonic sounds, the soulful duo eventually expanded to include oud, bass, and other instruments, and has performed at festivals and venues across globe.
