	Emmanuel Jal & Abdel Gadir Salim: Ceasefire: Pitchfork Record Review
		Salim is an elder statesman of northern Sudanese music and a master oud player, while Jal was forced into duty with John Garang's rebel SPLA (Sudan People's Liberation Army) group before he turned eight, training in Ethiopian camps and fighting skirmish actions before he learned to read.
		After years of fighting and a defection to a rival rebel group, Jal was ultimately helped out of the country by Emma McCune, a British aid worker with Street Kids International, but was left as one of thousands of so-called Lost Boys of Sudan after her death.
		I think it removes an extra layer of baggage (Jal's evangelism can be heavy-handed in translations) and allows me to just concentrate on the pure sound of the voices, which in this case is hugely rewarding.

		This collaboration between Emmanuel Jal, a Christian from southern Sudan, and Abdel Gadir Salim, a Muslim from northern Sudan, sends a powerful message throughout the country in the shadow of war.

		At the age of 7 Jal lost his mother and was taken to a camp in Ethiopia where he was trained to be a soldier.

		A collaboration in the truest sense, five of the tunes were written by Jal, four were composed by Salim and album closer "Asabi" was co-written by the two.
