More than an artistic practice or social ritual, it contributes to shaping collective awareness and formulating protest discourse. Sudanese women's singing is an extension of historical and aesthetic memory that is rooted in popular consciousness. It is connected with social and national occasions and serves as a means of mobilization, provocation, and establishing national identity in times of political movement and change. In this paper, I aim to explore Sudanese women's singing as a catalyst for political and social mobilization during the 2018 revolution by analyzing two songs by Alaa Salah and Nancy Ajaj. These singers were chosen as models of the intersection between women's voices and revolutionary acts. I used an analytical and cultural approach to textually and contextually read these songs and connect them with women's singing heritage and the political and social circumstances that surrounded the revolution. My findings revealed that the two songs reflected a deeply embedded heritage of women's singing that played an important role in provoking emotional, religious, and political meanings inspiring the participants during the revolution. By situating these two performances within wider dimensions of gender, nationalism, and postcolonial identity, I highlight the role of Sudanese women's singing in creating a living archive of resistance by bridging national folk traditions with modern political activity, thus reassessing cultural and artistic dimensions of the revolution. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Tydskrif vir Letterkunde is the property of Tydskrif vir Letterkunde and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
