Sinkane is an artist with a real stake in our current
cultural and political climate. Born in London to Sudanese parents, raised in
Ohio, and now calling New York City home, the former skate punk turned afro
funk whiz Ahmed Gallab refines his sound and message to peak form on his
seventh studio album, Dépaysé, releasing on May 31st, 2019."At some
point, I discovered the French word dépaysé, which basically means “to be
removed from one’s habitual surroundings. By extension, it means to be
disoriented, homeless. That's a feeling I relate to very much in these times —
and I’m not the only one who feels this way. That word gave me clarity and made
the journey inward that much more exciting. So here we are. Dépaysé is the
story of an immigrant’s journey of self-discovery in the Trump era. The
music is loud and raw, and it's bursting with an energy unlike anything I’ve
ever done before."
