\"\"<\/a>Sudan Archives<\/a> popped up on our radar earlier this year, through the spectacular line-up for the upcoming Le Guess Who?<\/a> Festival. Inspired by Sudanese fiddlers, the self-taught violinist and vocalist combines West African rhythms with electronic music and R&B. Earlier this summer, she released her debut self-titled EP through Stones Throw<\/a>. On the back of it, Sudan Archives has recently shared the wonderful and enveloping single ‘Water’. The track is offered with a video featuring footage from a trip to Ghana where she taught music production to kids.<\/p>\n

\u201cTeaching the kids at the North Star School with The Taiwo Fund was a dream come true and the main reason we traveled to Ghana. I launched a three day music production workshop and kids easily adapted to electric drum kits because they are already skilled drummers at their school. I\u2019m grateful that I had the opportunity to go and teach the skills I\u2019ve learned and inspire the students to create with the tools that they already have.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The video is directed by Eric Coleman. Watch it now.<\/p>\n
