Almawada from Jeenaki by Sounds of Sudan
Almawada is a piece by one of the most iconic living Sudanese artists Nour Al Jailani (1944) born in Khartoum North.
Both the driving 6/8 rhythm and the use of the pentatonic scale are typical features of Sudanese music. Our arrangement is based on a wild live version by Al Jailani himself. It is a sad song of love ending with …” you disappointed me”.
