“For the artist and craftsman Mohamed “Haraka” singing traditional songs on the markets of the suburbs is more than a profession. His performances play an essential role within the social life of his neighbourhood.”

In the outskirts of Ombadda in the western part of the city of Omdurman lives the artist and craftsman Mohamed Modier - or - Mohamed “Haraka” as he would like to be called. For over twenty years the people of this impoverished and overpopulated neighborhood watch him moving on his bicycle on his way to the local markets, where he is performing songs from all over Sudan on request of his customers - and - selling his colorful Rabbabas (traditional string instruments). Mohamed is a rich character full of sentiment and talent. His songs will helped him to survive even in the worst of situations.
