Moving from Khartoum, Sudan to Washington, DC and then across the US in a road trip unlike any other, this is an audiobook about music, friendship and the desire for home.
The Kamanga Kings, a Khartoum jazz band of yesteryear, is presented with the opportunity of a lifetime when a surprise letter arrives inviting them to perform in Washington, DC. The only problem is ... the band no longer exists.
Rushdy is a disaffected secondary school teacher and the son of an original Kamanga King. Determined to see a life beyond his own home, he sets out to revive the band. Aided by his unreliable best friend, all too soon an unlikely group are on their way, knowing the eyes of their country are on them.
As the group moves from the familiarity of Khartoum to the chaos of Donald Trump's America, Jamal Mahjoub weaves a gently humorous and ultimately universal tale of music, belonging and love.
'It is an immersive, humorous and powerful novel from a truly great writer who deserves a very wide audience.'
Chigozie Obioma
'A truly humane story of love, hope, and faith. An exhilarating, profoundly moving, musical romp. I loved it.'
