"اهل العمار" by Esaam Sati and Ali Naseraldeen

One of the biggest breakthrough tracks in Sudan and the singing in the chorus is sensational.

My go-to track for the last 12 months, the bass and this melody combined is like honey.

When I hear this I’m always transported, and feel like I’m dancing at an outdoor party in Kenya.

Expect big things from this Sudanese artist based in Miami.

Love the melody of this song, they're a Moroccan musician who fuses genres inexplicably.

Before his song went viral on TikTok, this was the track I had on repeat throughout lockdown.

I love this tongue-in-cheek 90s song from a Sudanese artist that fuses Egyptian influences into her music.

This riddim makes me want to dance! Simply written about a girl wearing a her sari.

A classic song during Sudan's golden era of music. I love his expressive voice.

This South African acapella track is haunting, engulfing and transcendent.
