Mohammed al Amin, (Arabic: محمد الأمين; 20 February 1943 – 12 November 2023), sometimes spelled Mohamed Elamin or El Amin, was a Sudanese popular musician noted for his personal style of singing, his playing of the oud, and his often outspoken lyrics.[1] Subjected to political repression by Sudanese governments, he took exile in Cairo in 1989 and only returned to Sudan several years later.
