Sudan Archives

Following an appearance at Splendour In The Grass, the American violinist, singer and songwriter Sudan Archives is heading to New Zealand for a one off performance at Auckland's Powerstation.

Cincinnati-raised, LA-based Sudan Archives is an avant-garde violinist who channels sounds through loop pedals. Described as a “boundary-defying R&V innovator” by The New York Times, she burst on to the scene in 2017, and has since released two full-length LP’s including 2022’s highly celebrated Natural Brown Prom Queen. Combining left-field strains of R&B, hip-hop and experimental electronic music with hypnotic string loops and the fiddling style of West Africa, Sudan’s shows are high energy affairs that invite audiences to join in and embrace shared joy.

“A swaggering statement of intent with all the idiosyncratic charm that makes her music so memorable”

- Pitchfork (Best New Track, 2022)
