  • La rica y variada música de Sudán está compuesta por raíces rurales tradicionales de África Oriental,​ así como por influencias árabes, occidentales u otras africanas en la música popular urbana desde principios del siglo XX. Desde el establecimiento de ciudades como Jartum como crisol de personas de diversos orígenes, su patrimonio cultural y sus gustos han dado forma a numerosas formas de música popular moderna. En el mundo globalizado de hoy, la creación y el consumo de música a través de la televisión por satélite o en Internet es una fuerza motriz para el cambio en Sudán, popular tanto entre el público local como entre los sudaneses que viven en el extranjero. Incluso después de la secesión del Sudán del Sur en 2011, el Sudán de hoy es muy diverso, con más de quinientos grupos étnicos repartidos por todo el territorio del país, lo que lo convierte en el tercer país más grande de África. Las culturas de sus grupos étnicos y sociales han estado marcadas por el complejo legado cultural, que se remonta a la difusión del Islam, así como por el patrimonio cultural indígena africano. Aunque algunos de los grupos étnicos todavía mantienen su propio idioma africano, la mayoría de los sudaneses de hoy en día hablan el dialecto árabe sudanés distintivo del idioma árabe. Debido a su ubicación geográfica en África Oriental, donde la cultura africana, árabe, cristiana e islámica han conformado las identidades de las personas, y en el cinturón sur de la región del Sahel, Sudán ha sido una encrucijada cultural entre el norte, el este y el oeste de África, así como la península arábiga, durante cientos de años. Por lo tanto, tiene una cultura musical rica y muy diversa, que va desde la música folclórica tradicional a la música popular urbana sudanesa del siglo XX y hasta la música popular africana de influencia internacional de hoy en día. A pesar de las restricciones religiosas y culturales hacia la música o la danza en la vida pública durante la historia reciente, las tradiciones musicales siempre han gozado de gran popularidad entre la mayoría de los sudaneses. Incluso en épocas de amplias restricciones de la vida pública o de la celebración de bodas y otros eventos sociales, la música y la danza siempre han formado parte de la vida cultural en el Sudán.

  • The rich and varied music of Sudan has traditional, rural, northeastern African roots and also shows Arabic, Western or other African influences, especially on the popular urban music from the early 20th century onwards. Since the establishment of big cities like Khartoum as melting pots for people of diverse backgrounds, their cultural heritage and tastes have shaped numerous forms of modern popular music. In the globalized world of today, the creation and consumption of music through satellite TV or on the Internet is a driving force for cultural change in Sudan, popular with local audiences as well as with Sudanese living abroad. Even after the secession of South Sudan in 2011, the Sudan of today is very diverse, with five hundred plus ethnic groups spread across the territory of what is the third largest country in Africa. The cultures of its ethnic and social groups have been marked by a complex cultural legacy, going back to the spread of Islam, the regional history of the slave trade and by indigenous African cultural heritage. Though some of the ethnic groups still maintain their own African language, most Sudanese today use the distinct Sudanese version of Arabic. Due to its geographic location in Africa, where African, Arabic, Christian and Islamic cultures have shaped people's identities, and on the southern belt of the Sahel region, Sudan has been a cultural crossroads between North, East and West Africa, as well as the Arabian Peninsula, for hundreds of years. Thus, it has a rich and very diverse musical culture, ranging from traditional folk music to Sudanese popular urban music of the 20th century and up to the internationally influenced African popular music of today. Despite religious and cultural objections towards music and dance in public life, musical traditions have always enjoyed great popularity with most Sudanese. Apart from singing in Standard Arabic, the majority of Sudanese singers express their lyrics in Sudanese Arabic, thereby touching the feelings of their national audience as well as the growing number of Sudanese living abroad, notably in Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the Gulf countries. Even during times of wide-ranging restrictions of public life imposed by the government, public concerts or the celebration of weddings and other social events with music and dance have always been part of cultural life in Sudan.

dbp:text
  • "Free vocal rhythm and simple meter throughout, undulating and generally descending solo melodies ranging within an octave, great importance given to meaningful text, a syllabic setting of text to tone level, and a generally relaxed and thoughtful performance of songs – these are the traits present in the repertories of Zaghawi female bards and non-specialist singers. Her personal character must have won the respect of her people, before she can be acceptable functionally as someone with power to move their thoughts and their emotional reactions into the areas she directs. She must be acknowledged as the most clever and witty singer; often she must embody the idea of physical attraction, and particularly she must have the gift of poetry and improvisation, all this encompassed in a person of dignified bearing."
