Sudanese artist أبو عبيدة حسن (Anglicized as Abu Ubayda Hassan/Abu Obaida Hassan) plays a rhythmic combination of Arab and Nubian styles of
music. At just 19, Abu Obaida rebelliously abandoned traditional Shaigiya music traditions, pioneering a new sound by adding an extra string to
his tambour and electrifying an instrument adored across East Africa.
