Noori & His Dorpa Band (live @Le Guess Who? 2022)

Noori & His Dorpa Band released the revolutionary album 'Beja Power' this year. This sensational band hails from Port Sudan, a city on the Red Sea coast in eastern Sudan and the heart of the Beja culture. This session was recorded in TivoliVredenburg Utrecht during ‪@leguesswhofestival‬

One of the most stirring aspects of Noori & His Dorpa Band’s music is that they’re in dialogue with Sudanese music from decades past. With their blending of Western and African musical styles, craft a sound all their own.
Noori was 18 when he crafted the tambo-guitar, a hybrid instrument that combined a tambour (a stringed lyre also known as the krar) with an electric guitar he found in a junkyard. With it, he envisioned keeping Beja music alive, something that was difficult in his home country of Sudan when the former Head of State, Omar al-Bashir.
Since the 1989 military coup that led to his rise in power, the government has closed down the nation’s music halls, forbade the creation and consumption of music, with the exception of songs that explicitly glorified Islam or war; and facilitated the imprisonment, torture, and murder of artists. Fearing for their safety, many Sudanese musicians fled the country altogether, prompting a nationwide decline in popular music that’s persisted to this day.
Noori believes that bringing this music out into the world can “form the most potent act of resistance,” moving in lockstep with Beja activists’s ongoing cries for justice.
