Nancy Ajaj

Nancy was born in a musical family. Her late father Baderldin Ajaj was a famous keyboard player and musician who contributed allot to development of the Sudanese music. Her younger sister is also a singer. Her father migrated to the Netherland in 1997 when she was 18 years old. She started her musical career in the Netherland and today she is one of the top Sudanese pop singers with three albums (Sehr Al Nagam’, ‘Refga’, and ‘Moja’) and around 35 songs. Migration shaped her life while she lived in the Netherlands, Canada and the UAE, but has now officially settled back in Sudan.
Rima Alsammare wrote: “A guitar plays with soft Andalusian influences. Then a flute joins in with an equally gentle melody. The camera pans across the Nubian pyramids in Meroë, an ancient site near Khartoum, before Nancy Ajaj – Sudan’s favorite singer – takes centre screen. With kohl around her eyes, a keffiyeh around her neck and magenta hair framing her angular face, her voice, hitting the soprano notes she’s known for, seamlessly flows into the music”. This is Nancy Sudan’s favorite pop star.
