Sudan Archives Creating Soundscapes of Africa

Deriving inspiration from Sudanese fiddlers, self-taught musician and singer/songwriter, Sudan Archives creates masterful soundscapes that transport her listeners to the heart of Africa. Her stage-name, ironically enough, has less to do with the country she is so inspired by, and more to do with a childhood nickname given to her when she revealed to her mother that she hated her birth name. 

Sudan Archives is an act like no other. It's amazing to see a huge festival like Firefly actually displaying acts like hers that is so unique and original. We expect Sudan Archives, Choir! Choir! Choir!, and Meute to be of the few acts that will stand out in your memories of the festival.

First State Studios Top 3 Songs We Hope To See Performed At Firefly

1. Nont For Sale
It's almost like a Sweet Disposition kind of vibe. This song is an absolute jam.

2. Come Meh Way
This is what we're talking about. Beautiful, native soundscapes.

3. Confessions
A single off her 2019 album, speaking of her home that doesn't feel too much like home.
