Check out the 2025 album: Asmar

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  Afrobeat, reggae and blues 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.
 

Mo is now a resident of the Netherlands, where he leads the Sudanese-Dutch band: Mo & Kush Band. His compositions are still 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.
