Sinkane: Tiny Desk Concert

Bob Boilen, April 10, 2017 Sinkane opened its Tiny Desk Concert with a song that has been a bit of an anthem for me lately. U Huh contains the Arabic phrase kulu shi tamaam, which translates to everything s great it s all going to be all Sinkane is the music of Ahmed Gallab and such hopeful music it is. He grew up in London and has lived in Sudan and in Ohio and, these days, New York City. His band reflects his own love for music from around the world; you can hear a great New York jazz band in the rhythms of Sinkane, but you can also hear the influence of Bob Marley and the hypnotic repetition of Sudanese desert sounds.
