Sudan has a rich and unique musical culture that has been through chronic instability and repression during the modern history of Sudan.Beginning with the imposition of strict sharia law in 1989 many of the country’s most prominent musicians and poets like poet Mahjoub Sharif were imprisoned while others like Mohammed el Amin and Mohammed Wardi fled to Cairo (Mohammed el amin returned to Sudan in 1991 and Mohammed Wardi returned to Sudan in 2003).
