Hawa Al-Tagtaga
Hawa al-Tagtaga (alternatively Hawa Jah Elrasool, ar, حواء جاه الرسول, 1926 – 12 December 2012) was a Sudanese singer, composer and activist, who campaigned against British colonial rule. Biography and musical career Al-Tagtaga was born in 1926 in El-Rahad, Abu-Dakna district in North Kordufan. Her father was a Sufi mystic and her mother a poet. From a young age, she wanted to be a singer, but her family were opposed to this and married her to a cousin, whom she later divorced, so that she could follow a career in music. She moved to Khartoum, when she was fourteen-years old, and soon after her arrival, her singing was in demand for wedding parties. Her work developed into the wider role of the ''ghanaya'' - a woman who is responsible as a performer and singer for getting a bride ready for marriage, including teaching the bride to dance for the so-called henna party, while also bathing and massaging them and passing on information about sexual relations.

Music Of Sudan
The rich and varied music of Sudan has traditional, rural, northeastern African roots and also shows Arabic, Western or other African influences, especially on the popular urban music from the early 20th century onwards. Since the establishment of big cities like Khartoum as melting pots for people of diverse backgrounds, their cultural heritage and tastes have shaped numerous forms of modern popular music. In the globalized world of today, the creation and consumption of music through satellite TV or on the Internet is a driving force for cultural change in Sudan, popular with local audiences as well as with Sudanese living abroad. Even after the secession of South Sudan in 2011, the Sudan of today is very diverse, with five hundred plus ethnic groups spread across the territory of what is the third largest country in Africa. The cultures of its ethnic and social groups have been marked by a complex cultural legacy, going back to the spread of Islam, the regional hist ...
