Mo & KUSH band

 
From the land of the Blue and White Nile, the cradle of Africa’s oldest civilization – the Kingdom of Kush –  arose the Nubian legend Mo Ahmed. Born into a musical family and raised in the rich heritage of Sudanese music, Mo’s songs blend traditional Sudanese percussion with Afro-pop and Afrobeat rhythms. His songs praise the beauty of his country, but also the struggles and resilience of the Sudanese people in times of tyranny and war.
 

Eight years ago, Mo was forced to flee his beloved homeland, finding refuge in the Netherlands. Here, his passion to preserve and share the Sudanese culture is reflected in his work with Kush Band. Mo’s compositions are rooted in the musical traditions of Sudan, which he studied when traveling across the country, learning from its many different cities and tribes. His creations showcase a unique pentatonic sound, interwoven with complex rhythmic patterns and evocative lyrics. The result is a collection of melodious, groove-driven songs that invite audiences to dance, celebrate, and connect with the soul of Sudan.

 

In 2023, Mo and Kush Band released their album Sudangali, a vibrant musical journey and a testament to their mission of bringing Sudan’s cultural beauty to the global stage.  The 2025 album ASMAR brings 6 traditional songs from the different tribes of Sudan, in their original languages.
