Noor al-Jailani (Arabic: النور الجيلاني; born 1944) is a Sudanese singer with a unique lyrical style that combines traditional folk singing with modern music, through topics of various shapes and contents. He sang many songs to South Sudan and loved nature and scenic views. Most of his songs were about the Nile and birds. Al-Nour Al-Jilani is dubbed “Tarzan” for his lyrics and feverish music. He is considered one of the pioneers of music in Sudan and one of its distinguished voices. Among his discography are the forgotten memory,[1] Al-Asfoor,[2] Kadrawih,[3] Fayyan,[4] and Sawah.[5]
