Soundway records present a unique record: a modern, haunting take on Sudanese music heard through the sonic lens of French artist / producer, Debruit and the poetic, ethereal lyrics and melodies of Sudanese-born singer Alsarah. Aljawal (The Traveller) is a nomadic reflection for the 21st century. Check!

On Aljawal, Debruit managed to capture and play with an analog sound that stretched the boundaries of the Sudanese rhythms and melodies that Alsarah had grown up with. A unique record was imagined and is finally presented here after a 2 year interplay of ideas and interaction between France and Brooklyn: Alsarah's adopted home
