But many cultures also see it as an art form in its own right. Tattoo on the right arm of a tribal chief, Pazyryk culture.

Impermanent methods like painting often express ritual roles, as in the Nuba ceremonies photographed by Leni Riefenstahl.

If either the player or dealer go over 21 it is called a break or bust and a busted hand automatically loses. How to Play The rest of the game takes place after any blackjacks have been taken care of. If the player and the dealer tie, the bet is a push. If both the player and the dealer bust the player loses, where lies the house advantage. Thus, a 21-point hand is the highest and is why the game is sometimes called 21.

Two months ago Skin Deep attended an Alsarah & The Nubatones concert at Rich Mix that was sponsored by MARSM, an event company dedicated to promoting Arab music and culture in the UK. The concert was part of a series called Music from Egypt and the Sudan. In a lot of ways, the event title is an ideal introduction to anyone who is unfamiliar with the music of Alsarah & The Nubatones. At its heart, the band’s project is a transnational one that attempts to resist the classification and disruption that modernity has inflicted on indigenous music. During the concert Alsarah kept reminding her audience – whether through political statements made in between songs or through the songs themselves – that while the Nubians are often spoken about as a dead people and civilization, the reality is that they are very much alive and thriving, as is their culture. Their disappearance and dislocation are really a product of modernizing processes like the drawing up of borders and building of dams. The band was a part of Aswan, a live concert album by the Nile Project, which pays tribute to that history — Aswan being a border city between Sudan and Egypt in which a dam was built in the mid 20th century, leading to the mass relocation of Nubians to cities in Northern Sudan and Southern Egypt.

But the band’s music is not strictly Nubian, or Egyptian, or Sudanese for that matter. Alsarah & The Nubatones draws on a wide array of musical influences from the broader East African coast. Their music, as they’ve often stated, is best described as ‘ East-African Retro-Pop’, drawing heavily on the musical trends of Ethiopia and Zanzibar in the 1960s and 70s. We had a chance to speak to Alsarah, though unfortunately not her band, after the concert at Rich Mix. Here’s our interview: * SD: A lot of people have sought to define your music as Sudanese, but you’ve actively sought for it to be defined as ‘ East-African Retro-Pop.’ Can you speak a little about what that distinction means to you and for your music? AS: Yeah, if you actually listened to that type of music, you’d hear the influence. There’s a track on the album [Silt] which is a cover of a song from Zanzibar.
