The AfroNubians were a world music band based in Toronto. They played newly composed and traditional pan-African-style music, blended with Latin, reggae, and some rock sounds.[1] HistoryThe AfroNubians came together in 1992. The group's founders included Sudanese emigrant Tarig Abubakar (leader, and principal composer) (1964-1998) and guitarist Adam Solomon. The AfroNubians featured Canadians and Africans amongst its band members, including Joe Szilagy (aka: Joe Slant), lead (rock/funk) guitar and Mohammed Hagelamin, bass, who were long standing members of the band. In 1993 the AfroNubians toured in western Canada,[2] and in 1994 they released their first CD, Tour to Africa.[3] Two more albums followed in 1995 and 1997. In 1995 the group was named band of the year at the Toronto African Music Awards.[4] In 1996 Solomon left to start his own band.[5] In 1998, shortly before the band was scheduled to embark on its first U.S. tour, Abubakar took a trip to Sudan and was killed in a motor vehicle accident. The AfroNubians performed in Toronto, and eventually conduct three tours across Canada. No further studio recordings were produced since, but in 2005 the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation released a CD, produced by Todd Fraracci, of two of the band's live concerts.[6] Musicians included on the CD with Abubakarg, Solomon, and Szilagy were Bruno Hedman-saxophone, Jim Heineman-saxophone and flute, Pa Jo-soukous and highlife lead guitar, Altof Bwana Moto-drums, Joseph Ashong-djembe/percussion, as well as many others.
