## Summary

Sinkane, the recording name of Sudanese-American multi-instrumentalist Ahmed Gallab, has announced his new album, *He’s Gone*, due out on 26 February. Written after his father’s death, the record takes a more sombre tone than 2024’s *We Belong* and explores memory, family and loss.

The album has ten tracks and features Yo-Yo Ma, Mdou Moctar, Preservation Hall Jazz Band and Annie & The Caldwells. Gallab produced, engineered and mixed it himself; lead single “So It Goes” features Mdou Moctar and draws on ideas about time and death from Kurt Vonnegut’s *Slaughterhouse-Five*. Sinkane is scheduled to play a release celebration in Brooklyn on 6 March.
