Alsarah is a singer, songwriter, and ethnomusicologist. Born in Sudan, she called many places home around the world before settling in Brooklyn, NY. She began studying music at the age of 12, and joined her first 'world music group' at the age of 16. She graduated from Wesleyan University in 2004 with a BA concentrating in ethnomusicology and began working as a singer specializing in north and east African music, while writing and recording original work. Having released an album of taarab songs from the eastern coast of Africa earlier this year with the Sounds of Taraab (www.soundsoftaarab.com), she is now putting together an album of her original work. For Brooklyn Maqam Alsarah will be drawing from her repertoire of Sudanese women?s song. Artist's Website
