Sudanese officials nominated AlKabli to compose the music and sing the poem Asia wa Africa. Surprisingly, he opposed this request since his area of speciality is composing music. Under persistent requests, AlKabi stood up at Sudan's National Theatre, in Omdurman and sang Asia wa Africa (Asia and Africa), a song that depicts the solidarity of the two continents.
