Sinkane

SINKANE IN CONCERT:From his days as a session player for bands like Of Montreal and Yeasayer to his current status as one of DFA Records' most eclectic artists, Brooklyn-based multi-instrumentalist Sinkane has stayed true to his multifarious roots. The British-born sensation was raised in London, Sudan, and Ohio, and his wildly diverse sound reflects these locales perfectly with elements of British psychedelia, African rhythms, and American funk guitar. Sinkane synthesizes these disparate styles to make funky polyrhythmic music that's both exotic and familiar enough to get fans dancing. Whether he's setting a mellow groove with "How We Be" or picking up the pace with "New Name", Sinkane is a visionary and genre-devouring performer who always impresses on tour.
