Popular music
Popular music North Sudan evolved into what is commonly referred to as "post-Haqibah", a style that dominated in the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s. This period is marked by the introduction of tone instruments from East and West, such as violin, accordion, oud, tabla and bongo. Large band style emerged, reflecting the trend in the West. Post-haqibah, like haqibah, is based on the pentatonic scale. Haqibah mixed with Egyptian and European elements is called al-afghani 'al-hadith .
The 1940s saw the influx of new names due to the emergence of Radio Omdurman and World War II. Early appearances included Ismail Abdul Mennen, Hassan Atya, Ibrahim Al Kashif and Ahmed al Mustafa. One of the most famous pioneers of this era is Ismael Abdul Queen, who was followed by Ahmed Ibrahim Falah and Ibrahim Alkashif ( the modern chorus ).
In this case, Ismael Abdul Queen is a pioneer who seeks to adapt to new conditions and abandon the old style. He was followed by a singer named Ahmed Ibrahim Falah. But both were soon defeated by Ibrahim Alkashif who came to be known as the "father of modern singers". Al Kashif started singing under the influence of Haji Mohamed Ahmed Sarour and relied on what Karouma had started, but he renewed singing in three main aspects:
The 1960s saw the import of American pop stars, which had a profound effect on Sudanese musicians such as Osman Alamu and Ibrahim Awad, the latter being the first Sudanese musicians to dance on stage. From the 1970s to the present, the music of North Sudan sees further Westernisation, with the introduction of guitar and brass instruments; The guitar comes from the south of the country, from the guitar style of the Congo. Congolese music such as soukous, as well as Cuban rumba, had a major influence on Sudan's popular music.
An important shift in modern Sudanese music was introduced by the band Sharakh and His Band - formed by a group of friends from Omdurman - namely Sharakh Ahmed, Ali Nur Elgalil Farghali, Kamal Hussain, Mahaddi Ali, Hassan Sirougy and Ahmed Dawood. They introduced modern rhythms related to popular music and souls using for the first time electric guitars, double bass, and brass instruments, with an emphasis on the rhythm section. The lyrics are also informal and popular. Now the band Sharakh is one of the leading companies in Sudanese music.
For the first time in the 1960s, female singers became socially acceptable with the emergence of Mihera bint Abboud, Um el Hassan el Shaygiya and Aisha el Fellatiya, who became famous for appearing in front of the Sudanese Defense Forces during World War II. In the 1960s, female duo waves became prominent, including Sunai el Samar, Sunai Kordofani, and Sunai el Nagam, while some women with high-loaded erotic images found spectators, including Gisma and Nasraa. Later leading female musicians include the band Al Balabil, formed in the early 1970s and becoming very popular in East Africa and still popular today. The 1980s also witnessed the appearance of Hanan's Feathers, a singer whose performance was sensual and provocative; he was eventually detained by the authorities and beaten.
The introduced genre has a profound effect on modern Sudanese music, especially British brass bands, which attracted many young recruits who took the model to recreational music. The result is a kind of dance music called jazz, though unrelated to American jazz style, similar to analogue styles throughout East Africa. The great bandleaders leading in the modern era include Abdel Gadir Salim and Abdel Aziz El Mubarak, both of whom have achieved some international fame.
The legal imposition of sharia in 1989 came with the imprisonment of Mahjoub Sharif, a poet and songwriter who continued to write even in prison. Singer Abu Araki al-Bakheit was banned from playing political songs in the early 1990s, but admitted he preferred to keep silent rather than do inappropriate material; news of his resignation, prompting strong reactions from his fans, which eventually led him to continue to appear deviant from authority. South Sudanese local singer Yousif Fataki has removed all his recordings by Radio Umdurman - the state's official media. Popular music of South Sudan was important in the 1970s and 1980s, with the capital Juba hosting nightclubs such as Rejaf Jazz and Skylarks.
Other popular importers include reggae superstar Bob Marley and American pop singer Michael Jackson, while funk James Brown inspires Sudanese players like Kamal Kayla, to adopt the same style. Other popular modern performances include Abdel Karim el Kabli, with a long and diverse history of performances, Mohammed al Amin and Mohammed Wardi.
Hip hop
The hip hop community in Sudan seeks to harness the unifying power and global popularity as a universal language to bring unity to the country. Artists, like the famous Pony of YouTube fame, see the genre as a way to free themselves from the culture around it. Hip hop represents the road to peace, tolerance and literacy for millions of African youths, powerful in number, but politically ignored, as witnessed by the exploitation of child soldiers. The lyrics have a unique ability to reach child soldiers as an educational tool to imagine different lifestyles. Hip hop Sudan teaches that through education and peace, there are opportunities to achieve a better life. Genre combines traditional music with young generation music, hip hop. It empowers them with the power of voice in the community without being forced to use weapons or violence. This genre not only serves as a tool that "keeps the audience moving, but that moves the audience - low education, civic action, and peaceful change."
