BBC Radio 6 Music - Tom Ravenscroft, Sudan Archives guest mix

23 year-old violinist and vocalist, Sudan Archives writes, plays, and produces her own music. Drawing inspiration from Sudanese fiddlers, she is self-taught on the violin, and her unique songs also fold in elements of R&B, and experimental electronic music. Sudan Archives grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio, where she took up violin in the fourth grade, eventually teaching herself how to play the instrument by ear. When she discovered the violin playing style of Northeast Africa, her eyes opened to the possibilities of the instrument. This fusing of folk music and electronic production was the turning point for Sudan. She honed her at-home style after moving to Los Angeles aged 19 to study music technology, and she signed with Stones Throw. At the very start of her musical career, she's already won plaudits from the likes of the New York Times and Pitchfork, and played live at experimental festival Moogfest. She will be providing tonight's guest mix for the show.
