From their debut concert, captured live on the 2013 release ASWAN, it was clear that the Nile Project was something completely new. NPR named the recording one of five "must hear international albums." Fast forward a couple of years—through 2 Africa tours and a 4-month US tour with stops at 25 universities, the Lincoln Center and the United Nations—and almost every major media outlet in the US agrees, the Nile Project is much more than just a band. According to the New York Times, The Nile Project is "a committed, euphoric international coalition."
