{"product_id":"the-king-of-sudanese-jazz","title":"The King Of Sudanese Jazz","description":"\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2,1\"\u003eA definitive retrospective of a true musical pioneer, this collection brings together the brilliant, genre-bending recordings of multi-instrumentalist and singer Sharhabil Ahmed. Emerging from Khartoum during the cultural renaissance of the 1960s and 1970s, Ahmed single-handedly revolutionised the East African music scene, earning him the undisputed title of \"The King of Sudanese Jazz.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2,2\"\u003eFar from traditional American big band or avant-garde jazz, Ahmed’s interpretation of the genre was an exhilarating, highly unique hybrid. He took the distinct, hypnotic rhythms of traditional Sudanese music and injected them with the raw energy of Western rock 'n' roll, surf rock, twist, and funk. Central to his signature sound was his use of the electric guitar, contextualised to mimic the phrasing of traditional Sudanese lutes, layered over driving brass lines and his own soaring, velvet vocals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2,3\"\u003eFrom the infectious, surf-tinged grooves of 'Argos Farfish' to the soulful, brass-heavy rhythms of 'Malak Ya Sahi', this compilation is a vibrant testament to an artist who redrew the map of global popular music. An essential release for anyone exploring the rich history of African funk, psych, and global grooves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2,4\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"2,4\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTrack Highlights:\u003c\/b\u003e 'Argos Farfish', 'Malak Ya Sahi', 'El Bambi', 'Kammar Dawa'\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sharhabil Ahmed","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53590207824215,"sku":null,"price":22.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0978\/8083\/4391\/files\/a3893589837_10.jpg?v=1779110478","url":"https:\/\/goodcuplondon.com\/products\/the-king-of-sudanese-jazz","provider":"Goodcup","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
