Alsarah & the Nubatones are a Brooklyn-based band led by Somali-American singer Alsarah, known for reviving East African retro pop sounds from the 1970s and 1980s. Their music blends traditional Somali vocal styles with vintage horn arrangements and rhythms influenced by the golden age of Somali and broader East African music. The group's sound draws from artists like Ahmed Ismail Ali and other pioneers of the region's classic pop era, reimagined through a contemporary lens. Their debut album "Night & the Drums" (2016) and subsequent releases have established them as key figures in the broader world music and retro-pop revival movements. Alsarah's approach emphasizes cultural preservation and celebration of East African musical heritage through accessible, dance-oriented arrangements.
