Ibrahim El Kashif

Ibrahim al Kashif (Arabic: إبراهيم الكاشف, born 1915 in Wad Madani, Sudan, deceased in September 1969) was the most popular Sudanese singer between the end of World War II and the independence of Sudan in 1956. His innovative style developed out of Haqeebah Music, and he added a string section as well as other Western musical instruments to the traditional Sudanese percussion or Arabic oud. Because of these innovations and his choice of poetic or patriotic lyrics, he was later called the "Father of modern Singing in Sudan".
