THE LATEST
Juno nominated South Sudanese recording artist and peace activist, Emmanuel Jal releases his 7th studio album with its title track “Shangah” and accompanying visuals.
“Shangah means ‘I am or I have been’. The song and album reflects where I am, whilst recognizing where I have been. I want to create music which pays homage to my heritage whilst paving a positive way forward for my people.”
With the release of ‘Shangah’ Emmanuel continues to carve a way forward for a distinct ‘South Sudanese sound’ whilst balancing influences from Kenya and other African countries. In this vein, Jal brings out the unique flavours from his homeland, whilst making them accessible to wider audiences.
