Sinkane, born Ahmed Gallab in London, England, is a versatile musician known for his unique blend of krautrock, prog rock, electronica, free jazz and funk rock with Sudanese pop. Currently signed to DFA Records, Sinkane has worked with notable artists such as Eleanor Friedberger, Caribou, of Montreal, Born Ruffians, and Yeasayer as a session musician.
Ahmed Gallab also serves as the Band Leader and Music Director of the *Atomic Bomb! Band*, which pays tribute to Nigerian Electro-Funk Legend William Onyeabor. This star-studded group includes renowned musicians like *David Byrne* (of Talking Heads), *Money Mark* (of the Beastie Boys), *Damon Albarn* (of Blur and Gorillaz), *Dev Hynes* (aka Blood Orange and Lightspeed Champion), *Alexis Taylor* (of Hot Chip), *Charles Lloyd*, *Amadou and Mariam*, *Jamie Lidell*, *Pharoah Sanders*, and many more.
With an international upbringing that took him from Sudan to the United States at a young age, Sinkane's diverse background is reflected in his eclectic musical style. Drawing inspiration from various genres and collaborating with esteemed artists across different music scenes has helped shape Sinkane into an innovative force in contemporary music.

Sinkane is unique in that he is one of few artists that has a real, tangible stake in our current cultural and political climate, and it shows in the music. For the new album Dépaysé (a French word meaning “to be removed from one’s habitual surroundings.”) Ahmed Gallab didn’t just write a few protest songs in the style of the familiar Sinkane sound. Rather, you can FEEL the difference, the change that has taken place in the art.

The falsetto of the earlier records is almost entirely gone in favor of an aggressive, clearly stated tenor. There is almost nothing in the lyrics that is ambiguous or even difficult to understand, and even the music’s poppier moments are confrontational and bombastic. And while the new album is reflective of what the band has become musically, a wild raging force to be reckoned with live, it is at its heart about what real frustration feels like and what real change could require. It is by far the most personal, direct, unfiltered and raw Sinkane album.
