Abdel Karim el Kabli
Limaza
"Karim
El Kabli (sometimes spelled as Kably) was born in 1933 in Port Sudan
on the Red Sea coast, moving to Khartoum at the age of 16 to attend
Khartoum Commercial Secondary School. He taught himself first the penny-whistle
and then the oud (lute). His first employment was in the
clerical section of the judiciary where he became 'courts inspector'.
After early successes in the 1960s, he went to live in Saudi Arabia
for a few years in the late 1970s. Having found financial security
but little creative impulse he returned to Sudan, his primary source
of inspiration.
His
role in rediscovering and collecting Sudanese folklore has since
brought invitations to lecture at academic institutions and perform
at cultural events in many countries. Although like most Sudanese his
songs are mainly about love, his lyrics increasingly tackle issues of
social and human concern. He lives in Khartoum with his wife and five
children." (information from CD's program notes)
"Limaza was released by Rags Music, an English record label, in 1995. Their site is currently under construction. You can find this CD in some of the on-line distributors, we have links to these distributors on our "Oud CDs" page.
