Very excited to share album details for Alsarah & The Nubatones’s upcoming album “Silt” which will be released on March 11th via Wonderwheel Recordings. Sudanese singer, Alsarah, continues to impress fans worldwide after releasing her collaborative project with French producer, Debruit, last year which crowned her “The New Star of Nubian Pop” by The Guardian and was included on NPR’s 10 Favorite World Music Albums for 2013.

Alsarah & The Nubatones is Alsarah’s new project and today we’re sharing the first track from the upcoming “Silt” album for the song “Soukura (It’s Late).” Far different than her work with Debruit, the songs featured on “Silt” can be described as “East African Retro Pop” which focuses on a nostalgic longing for a home that no longer exists, inspired by the Nubian “Songs of Return” that were conceived after mass displacement in the lower Nubia.
