The Sudanese musician who's returned home to perform
Eihab Abasaeed is a Sudanese hip-hop artist living in the US and founder of the band, Nas Jota. His songs were banned under the regime of the ousted president of Sudan, Omar al-Bashir. Now Eihab is performing in Sudan in a series of concerts. It's one of the latest signs of change that have taken place in Sudan since the mass protests last April that led to the downfall of President Bashir. Eihab told us why his group's songs had got them into trouble.
