Salah el-Jayli Mohamed Abu-Qroon (Arabic: صلاح الجيلي محمد أبوقرون; 1937–2019), known professionally as Salah ibn Al Badiyaα, was a Sudanese singer, composer and actor.

Early life

ibn Al Badiya was born in 1937 in Umm Dawm, Khartoum, Anglo-Egyptian Sudan (present-day, Sudan) to a conservative family.[1][2] Growing up between Umm Dawm and Abu Qaroun, ibn Al Badiya first studied at Al-Khalwa before attending secular education.[3]

Artistic career

ibn Al Badiya was introduced to music through Madih nabawi, until he stumbled on Umm Kulthum, who – with her voice – opened his eyes to a different kind of music.[4] ibn Al Badiya started his career when he was still a teenager but did not make a public appearance until 1959 due to his conservative family's reaction.[1] He was encouraged by journalists Mahjoub Osman and Mahjoub Mohamed Salah.[5] However, his father recognised his voice on the radio and forced him (or he chose[6]) to change his name so as not to bring shame to the family name, el-Jayli, a well-known Sofi leader.[7] He was known as Al Badiya because of his relationship with the Baadiyah, or the desert.[3][8]

ibn Al Badiya teamed up with poet Mohamed Yousif Mousa and Abu Amna Hamid to produce some of his best songs.[8] ibn Albdaya's discography includes 117 songs in 5 albums, 4 EPs, movies and plays.[9] His career spanned over six decades, and he introduced other prolific artists such as Mahmoud Abdulaziz.[10] Due to his conservative upbringing, ibn Al Badiya's discography also includes Madih nabawi.[11][12][13]

His audience extended beyond Sudan, reaching Ethiopia, Chad, Nigeria, Qatar, Kuwait, etc.[14][15] According to Riek Machar, SPLA had plans to attack a steamer on the White Nile, but when they found out that Salah was on board, they abandoned the idea out of love for the artist.[6]

ibn Al Badiya started acting at the theatre with actress Nemat Hmad in Greeba Mosodna and for the crown before starting in Tajouje (a historical romantic tragedy).[16] ibn Al Badiya then moved to the cinema, with his first role being in the movie adaption of Tajouje in 1977,[17] Toar Aljar in Germany, and followed by Eyes Journey (1983).[18][19][20]

Death

ibn Al Badiya died aged 82 on 16 September 2019 in Amman, Jordan, from a heart attack.[21][8] He was there to rest and meet his brother[22][23] after his final performance during the "Joy of Sudan" concert on the 18th of August, where he sang Oh! My country (Arabic: يا بلدي) before the signing to the formation of the civil and military council in Sudan.[24][6][25] Thousands, including political leaders, attended his funeral at Umm Dawm.[26][27]
