"Sharhabeel Ahmed, born 1935, is one of the living legends in Sudan’s arts scene. He created the Sudanese Jazz, a local genre inspired by jazz and funk icons such as Louis Armstrong, Harry Belafonte and James Brown. Sharha- beel moved from his hometown Elobeid in South Kordofan to Khartoum to study at the College of Fine Arts at Sudan University. Being trained as a graphic designer, he became a prominent cartoon artist and worked as an illustrator for the Ministry of Education. Near his office was the Rumbek school which was relocated from South Sudan to Khar- toum after the civil war broke out. Every morning he passed by the compound encountering some of the students playing guitar outside the gates. Fascinated by the foreign instrument for a while, he approached them. He had bought a guitar from a garage sale of a foreigner who left Khartoum but didn‘t know how to tune it and therefore was unable to transfer his skills on the Oud and other local string instruments to playing the guitar. He offered the students to teach them how to play the mandolin in exchange of learning how to tune and play the acoustic guitar he owned. Trained by the church in different guitar techniques, the students agreed on the exchange and Sharhabeel finally was enabled to play the instrument that interested him for a long time. Influenced by the international jazz bands he saw in the bars and clubs in Jumhuriya street in Downtown Khartoum, he started fusing jazz with local elements of different genres, singing in English and Arabic. He gave his first concert at the opening of the Omdurman National Theater where he performed with his band under the name „Sharhabeel Ahmed and Band“. The band was joined by his wife Zakiyah who was the first woman on stage playing base and guitar. Revolutionising the Sudanese music scene for the coming decades, they toured in Africa and Europe, performing songs in Arabic, English and Kiswahili. Playing in Asmara for Independence Day, at the Beethoven- Halle in Bonn, the Roman Theater in Alexandria and the Institut du Monde Arab in Paris, Sharhabeel Ahmed and Band spread the Sudanese musical genre they created internationally until today. “El Bomba” and Sharhabeel’s forthcoming solo release on Habibi Funk was licensed from the artist himself.”
