Review:
The 2005 peace deal between the Sudanese government and the Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA) brought a tentative ceasefire between the Moslem north and the predominantly Christian south of the country. A unique collaboration between Emmanuel Jal, a Christian rapper from the south, and Abdel Gadir Salim, a Moslem musician from the north, led to the recording of this symbolic album reflecting both sides' hope for a peaceful future for Sudan. The size of western Europe, and Africa's largest country, Sudan has suffered from religious, ethnic and cultural friction. Both musicians have been scarred by the violence in Sudan and were extremely excited to be contribute to its peaceful reconciliation. —Courtesy Calabash Music
