Mohammed al Amin (Arabic: محمد الأمين; 20 February 1943 – 12 November 2023), sometimes spelled Mohamed Elamin or El Amin, was a Sudanese popular musician noted for his personal style of singing, his playing of the oud, and his often outspoken lyrics. Subjected to political repression by Sudanese governments, he took exile in Cairo in 1989 and only returned to Sudan several years later.
