His breakthrough album was a futuristic funk record from Space, appropriately titled MARS, that dealt with feeling like an outsider living on another planet. With his second album, MEAN LOVE, he set out to find a place for himself. And with his new album, LIFE & LIVIN’ IT, he seemed to have found it. SINKANE founder and frontman Ahmed Gallab is no longer searching for his home, he has created a home for himself. There’s a party there, and LIFE & LIVIN’ IT is playing on the stereo. You are invited. The album draws from the best elements of Sinkane’s previous records: the slinky funk and soul grooves are there, so are the sparkling melodies with roots in sub-Saharan Africa. LIFE & LIVIN’ IT is true to its name: it’s an album about all kinds of experiences, an uplifting album about a universal feeling of soul. “My family emigrated to the United States from Sudan,” Ahmed explains, “and I grew up around a lot of folks who weren’t like me, as an outsider. That’s influenced me and my music immensely, and ultimately, this entire project is my way of connecting with all kinds of people — what better way to start a conversation with someone than by telling them a story about yourself that they can relate to?” Ahmed Gallab and the band had spread the gospel of Sinkane to the world, playing 166 shows in 20 countries. During the same period, he had also led The Atomic Bomb Band — the highly celebrated 15-piece outfit that played the music of elusive Nigerian electro-funk maestro William Onyeabor. The band included David Byrne, Damon Albarn, members of Hot Chip, LCD Soundsystem, The Rapture, Jamie Lidell and legendary jazz musicians Pharoah Sanders and Charles Lloyd, and they played all over the planet, including making their TV debut on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. “Those 14 months really changed my life,” Ahmed says. “Not only did I learn how to put on a bigger show, but all that touring rought SINKANE closer as a band.” Artist Sinkane Genre World / Fusion Label City Slang Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country United Kingdom Track Listings A1 - Deadweight A2 - U’Huh A3 - Favorite Song A4 - Fire B1 - Telephone B2 - Passenger B3 - Theme From Life & Livin’ It B4 - Won’t Follow B5 - The Way Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Sinkane and more from World / Fusion View Product Quick View Sinkane We Belong World / Fusion | City Slang | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 5th April 2024 £29.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Sinkane We Belong £29.00 Genre: World / Fusion Label: City Slang SKU: SLANG50538LP Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 5th April 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Sinkane Gettin’ Weird (Alive at Spacebomb Studios) Rock And Pop | Spacebomb | 1LP Released 7th February 2020 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Sinkane Gettin’ Weird (Alive at Spacebomb Studios) £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Spacebomb SKU: SB033 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 7th February 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Sinkane Life & Livin It – Indies Only Coloured Vinyl World / Fusion | City Slang | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 10th February 2017 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Sinkane Life & Livin It – Indies Only Coloured Vinyl £22.00 Genre: World / Fusion Label: City Slang SKU: SLANG501115LT Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 10th February 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Omar Pene & Super Diamono Direct From Dakar World / Fusion | Real World | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 24th June 2022 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Omar Pene & Super Diamono Direct From Dakar £20.00 Genre: World / Fusion Label: Real World SKU: LPRW233AFS Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 24th June 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Ibibio Sound Machine Uyai World / Fusion | Merge | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 3rd March 2017 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ibibio Sound Machine Uyai £21.00 Genre: World / Fusion Label: Merge SKU: MRG585LP Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 3rd March 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Various Shangaan Electro (Dance Music from South Africa) World / Fusion | Honest Jon's | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 26th February 2011 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Various Shangaan Electro (Dance Music from South Africa) £16.00 Genre: World / Fusion Label: Honest Jon's SKU: HJRLP52 Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 26th February 2011 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Various Artists Congo Funk!
