Revolutionary musician cries for recognition in Sudan
In our series of letters from African journalists, Sudanese writer Zeinab Mohammed Salih samples some rhythms with a political agenda from Sudan's Red Sea state.
For him the international release of the album by New York-based Ostinato Records is a continuation of his Muslim nomadic community's resistance against successive regimes in Sudan. It was a time when the Beja people felt neglected - and like many other communities in the country - squashed by the Islamist government.
"In the past we didn't have access to the platforms that are now available to perform, only Arabic music was allowed," explains Noori.Nori and his Dorpa band now have the freedom to perform in Bidhaawyeet "I also play a role in stopping the tribal conflict that's been going on in eastern Sudan, by playing my music," said Noori.
They are also angry about a plan to build a new port, in partnership with the United Arab Emirates 200km north of Port Sudan which would see Beja people moved from their land.
