Abdel Karim al Kabli (1932–2021) was a celebrated Sudanese singer-songwriter, poet, and composer renowned for his profound contributions to Sudanese music and culture. Born in Port Sudan, he developed an early passion for Arabic poetry and self-taught mastery of instruments like the oud and penny whistle. Over a career spanning six decades, al Kabli composed over 150 songs, blending themes of love, nationalism, and Sudanese folklore. His works often incorporated classical Arabic poetry, reflecting his deep appreciation for the language. Beyond music, he was a dedicated humanitarian, advocating for peace and women's rights, and served as a UNFPA Goodwill Ambassador. Al Kabli's enduring legacy continues to inspire and resonate within and beyond Sudan. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abdel_Karim_al_Kabli?utm_source=openai))
