Sinkane: Laidback Throwback

Ahmed Gallab, more commonly known as Sinkane, will be opening for !!! at the Music Hall Of Williamsburg in NYC tomorrow, Dec. 13. His most recent release, Mars, which hit the shelves this past October, features the funky single “Runnin,” which was inspired by Sinkane’s experiences and witnessing how martial law can lead to street violence back when he lived in war-ravaged Sudan as a child. “Make Time” is another stand-out in the album, and is impressive in the fact that Gallab himself played all the instruments that make up the background beat for the song, apart from a guitar solo that was performed by Twin Shadow member George Lewis, Jr.
