Rango: Sudanese-Egyptian master musicians and Sudani Voodoo practitioners, led by the veteran mallet-master Hassan Bergamon AKA The King of Rango. Featuring multi-instrumentalists, drummers and ritual percussionists with dancing belts fashioned from goat horns and recycled aerosol cans.

Rango perform music from Sudanese mystic healing ceremonies and mysterious Zar/Voodoo rites, along with popular folk & Wedding songs from Sudanese Diaspora in Egypt, all played on lyres retrofitted with electric pickups and vintage Rango Balafon with gourd-spirit resonators.

Rango have entranced audiences in Cairo, Paris, and London and are poised to break through into the international world music arena with their debut EP release Sudani Voodoo on 30IPS Records.


Rango musicians Sheikha Zeinab and Araby Jacamo were profiled by New Statesman magazine in a recent article on 30IPS label-mates El Tanbura:
