Complementing the visual odyssey is the SON music project, a groundbreaking initiative crafting experimental futuristic music. Traditional percussion samples and vocals, laden with historical significance, are recorded during the film shoots from the tribes. These raw elements form the basis for a music residency, where local and international music producers, along with artists, collaborate to create a full-length album. This amalgamation of traditional sounds and urban influences results in a unique musical composition that pays homage to the indigenous roots while pushing the boundaries of contemporary expression.
The SON project serves as a harmonious fusion of history, visual storytelling, and experimental music, resonating with the pulsating heartbeat of the Nile and celebrating the vibrant cultural mosaic of the African tribes along its banks. Through film, music, and festivals, SON endeavors to amplify the voices of these communities, ensuring the preservation and appreciation of their cultural heritage for generations to come.
