Emmanuel Jal Live at Sunburn Union Prepare to witness an electrifying fusion of music, purpose, and powerful storytelling as Emmanuel Jal takes over Sunburn Union for a performance unlike any other. Once a child soldier in the South Sudanese civil war, Jal transformed his harrowing past into a beacon of hope through the universal language of music.
Now a globally acclaimed recording artist, peace ambassador, and humanitarian, his sound blends hip-hop, Afrobeat, and spoken word with messages of resilience, justice, and unity. Having shared stages with icons like Alicia Keys, Peter Gabriel, Lauryn Hill, and Nile Rodgers, Jal has performed at global events including Live 8 and Nelson Mandela’s 90th Birthday Concert.
With a deep discography of moving tracks such as “Gorah,” “Shangah,” and “Hey Mama,” his performances are known to be both soul-shaking and profoundly inspiring. Whether you’re drawn by the music or the message, this is not just a concert—it’s an experience. Come for the rhythm, stay for the revolution.
