Mohamed Adam hopes launch of album will help bring peace in Sudan

Sudanese singer, songwriter, and guitarist Mohamed Adam was in the process of completing his debut album in 2023 when a civil war broke out in the country. “I started recording the album four years ago, but it stalled when the war broke out,” recalls Adam.

He and a group of other artists fled to Kenya and started rebuilding their lives, and for him, that included starting afresh on his album with a new set of musicians, the majority of whom were Kenyans. “It took me a while to meet the musicians, but when I did, it leveled up everything. I am very proud of my band; they are very tight musicians,” he says.
