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.

Known as the touring multi-instrumentalist for Of Montreal, Caribou and Yeasayer, Ahmed Gallab is finally branching out on his own with Mars. The album is dense with deep, polyrhythmic grooves that refer as much to early '70s underground soul as it does Ahmed's home country Sudan. It's a 21st-century party record that swoons with its kinetic catchiness.
