Sinkane

Sinkane is the alias of Ahmed Gallab, a Sudanese-American singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist whose eclectic, percussion-heavy style of music draws from a wide range of influences including free jazz, Afrobeat, pop, reggae, and shoegaze. With albums like 2014's Mean Love and 2019's vibrant Dépaysé, he continued to refine his distinctive sound and earn a more widespread audience. Released by the City Slang label, Sinkane's 2024 album, We Belong, was a celebratory and highly collaborative project that included guests like Stout, Bilal, Money Mark, and more.
