Sudan Tapes Archive is an archival initiative that seeks to preserve Sudan’s sonic imprint through the digitization of Sudanese cassettes and media. Sudan Tapes Archive strives to honor our collective memory, and most critically: connect Sudanese people across geographies to one of the world’s richest, most eclectic and precious musical traditions.
أرشيف الأشرطة السودانية هو مبادرة أرشيفية تهدف إلى الحفاظ على التراث الموسيقي السوداني من خلال رقمنة أشرطة الكاسيتات. يسعى أرشيف الأشرطة السوداني إلى تكريم ذاكرتنا الجماعية ، والأهم من ذلك: ربط السودانيين عبر العالم و الاجيال بالتراث الموسيقيي السوداني
