INFORMATION ABOUT SUDAN
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudan#Ethnic_groups
"Republic of the Sudan[12] (Arabic: جمهورية السودان Jumhūriyyat as-Sūdān), is a country in North-East Africa. It is bordered by Egypt to the north, Libya to the northwest, Chad to the west, the Central African Republic to the southwest, South Sudan to the south, Ethiopia to the southeast, Eritrea to the east, and the Red Sea to the northeast. Sudan has a population of 43 million (2018 estimate)[13] and occupies 1,886,068 square kilometres (728,215 square miles), making it Africa's third-largest country and also the third-largest in the Arab world. It was the largest country in Africa and the Arab world by area before the secession of South Sudan in 2011.[14]
[...]
The Arab presence is estimated at 70% of the population. Others include North Sudan Nubians, Zurga (South and West Sudan), and Copts.[224][225]
Sudan has 597 groups that speak over 400 different languages and dialects.[226] Sudanese Arabs are by far the largest ethnic group in Sudan. They are almost entirely Muslims; while the majority speak Sudanese Arabic, some other Arab tribes speak different Arabic dialects like Awadia and Fadnia tribes and Bani Arak tribes who speak Najdi Arabic; and Beni Ḥassān, Al-Ashraf and Rashaida who speak Hejazi Arabic. In addition, the Western province comprises various ethnic groups, while a few Arab Bedouin of the northern Rizeigat and others who speak Sudanese Arabic share the same culture and backgrounds of the Sudanese Arabs.
The majority of Arabised and indigenous tribes like the Fur, Zaghawa, Borgo, Masalit and some Baggara ethnic groups, who speak Chadian Arabic, show less cultural integration because of cultural, linguistic and genealogical variations with other Arab and Arabised tribes.[227]
Sudanese Arabs of Northern and Eastern parts descend primarily from migrants from the Arabian Peninsula and intermarriages with the pre-existing indigenous populations of Sudan, especially the Nubian people, who also share a common history with Egypt. Additionally, a few pre-Islamic Arabian tribes existed in Sudan from earlier migrations into the region from Western Arabia, although most Arabs in Sudan are dated from migrations after the 12th century.[228]
The vast majority of Arab tribes in Sudan migrated into the Sudan in the 12th century, intermarried with the indigenous Nubian and other African populations and introduced Islam.[229]

5. Ahmed Rahal, 2020 "Thanks a lot, bro for you comments and I do appreciate your sense of identity and your pride of the African culture. This band comes from Nuba Mountains in Sudan and the language they use in this song is Nuba language mixed with some Arabic words. Feel free to share this video with any groups with the same interests as my aim is [to] spread our cultural heritage around the world." ** REPLY 6. Ahmed Rahal,2020 "The name of the band is Awtar Al-jebal. Which is Arabic words for ‘Strings of the Mountains’." ** REPLY 7. Azizi Powell, 2020 @Ahmed Rahal, greetings. Thanks you for sharing that information about this video. I love learning about Black cultures throughout the world. Unfortunately, people in the United States know very little about Sudanese history and culture, so videos such as the ones you share on YouTube are a much needed addition to raising our awareness.
