South Sudanby Gordon Koang

"Gordon Koang is a fountain of warmth and joy, immediately accepting any stranger who strays into his presence. With a beaming smile that is unfettered by blindness, a condition he has lived with since birth, Gordon welcomes any and all around him, encouraging them to sit for a while and chat, maybe even to share a song. Koang hails from the Upper Nile region of what is now South Sudan. Accompanied by his cousin Paul Biel, Gordon performs a blend of traditional Neur rhythms and original compositions in English, Arabic, and his native language, Neur. After 5 long years Gordon was granted asylum in Australia the country he now calls HOME. His new album UNITY is that story as a beacon of connectivity and love" gordonkoang.bandcamp.com
