Sinkane tour dates
Sinkane is the stage name of Sudanese-American multi-instrumentalist, singer and songwriter Ahmed Gallab. His upbeat music defies genres, blending Afro-beat and pop with such diverse styles as free jazz, shoegaze, electronica, prog rock, funk and R&B. As a live performer, Sinkane invites other skilled musicians and vocalists to join him on stage, but it's his gentle, smooth voice and seemingly effortless mastery of drums, bass, guitar, keyboards, percussion and all manner of other instruments that enchants audiences all over the world. With five full-length albums and several EPs to draw from, live performances during the latest Sinkane tour will continue to expose the talented musician to ever wider audiences.Sinkane's background
Ahmed Gallab was born in London and lived as a child in his parents' home country of Sudan before moving with his family to the United States. He was mostly raised in Ohio, and is now based in Brooklyn.

To support his 2014 album Mean Love, Sinkane went on tour and performed more than 160 shows in over 20 countries. Mean Love is considered the artist's breakout album and it received positive reviews from critics. In early 2017, Sinkane released another studio album, Life & Livin' It, which was also praised for its bright, positive vibe. Around that time Sinkane made his television debut with an appearance on Conan. Later in 2017 he offered the live EP, Berlin 2017.
