Sudanese musician Mohamed El Amin has passed away in Virginia, USA. He is considered one of the most prominent singers in Sudan's artistic scene over the past six decades. Thousands of Sudanese mourned El Amin, noting that he was the most present, creative, and diverse artist in recent decades, significantly contributing to the Sudanese collective sentiment through dozens of timeless songs. Many social media users expressed sorrow over his passing away from his homeland, for which he had sung extensively.
Mohamed El Amin's first public appearance was in the late 1960s with the song "Ana Wa Habibi," which remained a favorite among Sudanese music lovers for many years. Many critics consider the song "Zad Al-Shujoun," written by the late journalist Fadlallah Mohammed, as a pivotal point in showcasing El Amin's capabilities in classical emotional melodies. Some accounts suggest that this song played a crucial role in fully modernizing Sudanese music, as El Amin had withheld the song for four years before it was performed by the first batch of graduates from the music institute.
El Amin also contributed to renewing traditional songs, which significantly boosted his popularity. His remarkable abilities in composing and musical arrangement are reflected in over 50 artistic works. Following the news of his passing on Monday morning, thousands of residents and displaced individuals from the war in Khartoum flocked to his family's home in an old neighborhood in Madani, Sudan, which turned into an open mourning space.
