Rolling Stone MENA is thrilled to introduce its November cover star, Alsarah (
@alsarah5000 ). Whether in her solo work or with her band, Alsarah & The Nubatones (
@alsarahandthenubatones ), the Sudanese-American musician has carved out a personal sonic universe - one that refuses the borders of country, genre, or culture. What began as music made for an audience of one - herself - has resonated powerfully across Sudan, the Arab region, and East Africa, speaking to listeners at home and throughout the diaspora. In her hands, sound becomes a way of building new homes from memory and feeling.
For this month’s cover, writer Zahra Hankir (
@zahrahankir ) sits down with Alsarah for an expansive conversation, tracing her evolving definitions of art, home, and belonging. Read the full story through the link in bio.
