Sinkane Live In-Studio

Studio 360 | Mar 2, 2017

Brooklyn-based Afropop band Sinkane is here to remind us that “we’re all gonna be alright.” Blending a wide range of musical influences, their sound is a mix of 60s funk, Sudanese pop, and international soul. Band leader Ahmed Gallab cut his teeth on the road with bands like Of Montreal, Yeasayer, and Caribou before forming Sinkane in 2007. Leading up to their world tour for their newest release “Life and Livin’ It,” the band joined us in the studio to play a few new songs and share a custom playlist of tracks that inspired their new album.

Bonus Track: Sinkane plays "U'Huh" live in Studio 360
