The musician Sharhabil Ahmed is
celebrated through a compilation of his
tracks and archives entitled The King
Of Sudanese Jazz via the Habibi Funk
label on July 10th.
A pioneer of Sudanese jazz in the early
60s, Sharhabil Ahmed modernised
Sudanese music by mixing Western
influences and instruments with those
of his culture: 'Haqiba music, you
know, was traditional vocal music with
little accompaniment beyond a
tambourine. When our generation came in
the 1960s, we came with a new style. It
was a time of worldwide revolution in
music. In Europe, the rhythms of swing
and tango were being replaced by jazz,
samba, rock- and-roll. We were
influenced by this rejuvenation in
Sudan, too'
The Habibi Funk label headed by Jannis
Stuertz has therefore gathered the work
of this king of Sudanese jazz to make a
special collection. His sound is
described by the label : 'Sharhabil's
sound feels more like a unique
combination of surf rock, funk,
Congolese music and East African
harmonies'. With seven tracks, the
album is a beautiful tribute to this
icon of Sudanese music.
