We’re a nation; Sudan is a nation.” The country was torn apart for several decades by a civil war between the Muslim north and the Christian and animist south, until the declaration of independence of South Sudan in 2011. Kamal Keila lived through this history, sometimes censored, sometimes close to power. “The relationship between the regime and music was never completely back and white,” explains Jannis Stürtz. “Even after 1989, when the Islamists took power, music was never banned. However, artists were persecuted, imprisoned, exiled for what they had said in their songs previously. Kamal was close to Gaafar Nimeiry (Prime Minister from 1969 to 1985 - Ed.) who often took him on long trips. With the arrival of Omar el-Béchir (the general who introduced an Islamic legal code in 1989 - Ed.), his message was no longer in line with the regime, which hurt his career, However, Kamal remained a symbol of unity, and el-Béchir asked him to sing at the signing of the peace treaty (in 2005 - Ed.). After the concert, however, several members of the delegation came to tell him the he did not represent Sudan.
