London-born Sudanese-American singer, songwriter and musician who produces in a wide spectrum from afro-beat to funk, pop to jazz, reflecting the cultures that nourished him. Ahmed Gallab, stage name Sinkane, was born to college professor in London. His parents moved to Sudan where he would live till he was five years old, then moved to the USA. Having travelled to so many different places in a brief period reflected on his musical identity that began to form at an early age. You may know Ahmed Gallab not only as Sinkane but also from many other significant bands and projects he participated in. Besides performing as a session musician for such distinguished names as Caribou, of Montreal, Born Ruffians and Yeasayer, Gallab is the vocalist and music director of the enormous project Atomic Bomb! Band which is dedicated to Nigerian electro-funk legend William Onyeabor. He brought together world-famous musicians such as David Byrne, Damon Albarn, Money Mark, Dev Hynes, Amadou and Mariam, Joshua Redman, Jamie Lidell and Alexis Taylor for this project. The process that started in 2012 with the release of his first album MARS continues with his latest album Dépaysé, released by City Slang label which also has Jakuzi on his roster, and brought about changes in transitions and alterations in Sinkane’s musical tones. Even though he produces highly energetic songs based on Funk, Sudanese pop, psychedelia and afro-beat, he doesn’t hold back when it comes to lyrics. You’re in for a charged night with Sinkane, who never avoids revealing his political identity in his songs infused with multi-culturalism to the bone. A night where Salon will have the right conditions for dancing with music revolving around funk, Sudanese pop, psychedelia and afro-beat. * Scan the barcode on your ticket with the  KonserV application to earn points. #salonİKSV
