Mohamed Araki Mohamed Araki

Music came naturally to Mohamed Araki, when he started learning the piano under his father at the age of five. At the age of fifteen, he joined his father’s band Abu Araki Elbakhit. In early 2008, he came to US to participate in Sudanese festival in Chicago and Detroit. From there, he decided to study at Berklee College of Music in Boston. With such diversity and great mix of student musicians from more than 90 countries with great talents, Mohamed made one of his final projects with 33 musicians on stage and four pioneer artists from Sudan (including South Sudan) such as Abu Araki Elbakhit, and Emmanuel Jal. Mohamed played with different groups such as Kina Zoré, Lamine Touré and group Saloum, and currently tours the states with Spiritual Rez, a Reggae/Rock band.
