Watch Sinkane's Feel-Good 'Tiny Desk Concert' Performance
Sinkane performs songs from his latest album "Life & Livin' It" during a 'Tiny Desk' Set with NPR.
Sinkane—one of our favorite artists from the new school of Sudanese musicians—delivers a lively performance in the latest installment of NPR's Tiny Desk Concerts.
The singer begins his set with an upbeat rendition of his song "U'Huh," which features feel-good lyrics sung in Arabic, before jumping into "Favorite Song" and "Deadweight" from his latest album Life & Livin' It—one of the most uplifting records we've heard all year.
Check out Sinkane's performance below, and listen to Life & Livin' It underneath.
