London: Somali week Festival with Hassan Ganey, Hadraawi and Gaarriye

[Paragon]

Wouldn't mind going there for the poetry side of it. Don't want to listen to habraha buurbuuran. Big disapointment - they should frankly retire all.

[Faheema.]

^ Would you be singing a different tune if it was you they buraanbured for...(if that's even a word)

[Paragon]

^Lol, nah! Their words wont even excite me into action...

[Faheema.]

^ Their words mise their style of delivery? I am sure if those words were delivered in a more 'conceptual' manner it would do more than excite no?

[Paragon]

^^Then I might reconsider what I said earlier. But I doubt the existence of such delivery.

[Abwaan]

It is sad that I will be missing this wonderful event as I will be travelling abroad insha Allah. Hopefully, there will be photos and videos and some SOL members might take part and share their experiences with us.

[N.O.R.F]

Black history month? Will you guys encourage your non-Somali friends/neighbours/work mates etc to attend? Will it be in Somali only? (defeats the purpose).

If any one has Xassan Sh. Mumumin's literature please share oo nagu sadaqaysta waa bil Ramadaane.

Wouldn't put it that way but I generally agree with you. I hope the "wailers" won't dominate the show as usual. We've seen enough embarrassing jiggles on stages down the years. They can have their own day if they really must, but I hope this even will highlighted by the poets and other rarely seen artists like Xudaydi.

^^Younis, my comment might have been slightly 'harsh'. But the reality is, every social event one goes to, you get the haggard old timers 'wailing' their lungs to death. Tis time they rested, I hold.

 

Its time for new faces...

Xiin,

 

You know i was in classics, not in the contemporary? Hassan Shiekh Mumin is a brilliant playwright, and composer, his popluar Shabeelnaagood Play(The Leopard among women) was tranlated by BW Andrzejewski, and reveiwed by many others.

 

I think he is a towering intellect, one of his lyrics was:

 

Doc kastoo la eego nolosha dunidu waa dabkee

haduu dabkii dhaxamoodoo maxaa lagu diirayaa

waa tilmaan la daaho degdeg kuma haboonee

adoo degan u fiirsoo u jeedadaa u deeqsi

dalaalamida diintiyo distoorka iyo xeerkaa

hadii dabool la saaroo dawo bukootay weeyee

waa suaal daweynoo madaxaa daalinaysee

waxii lagu dabiibii dad weynaha la waydiin

 

lool,if the fire feels cold,whaton earth makes it warm! ?

[xiinfaniin]

^^

 

Or if the medicine itself is afflicted with plague, where on the green earth could we find a treatment? Such paradoxical issues were as Ina Mumin puts it:

waa suaal daweynoo madaxaa daalinaysee

waxii lagu dabiibii dad weynaha la waydiin! And I am not sure if he really thought the commoners would fare any better in answering his queries…

 

But I would like to find one of his classic poems where as I said he likened Somali character with a lazy cat. He starts with how Somali name cats from Zaylac to Kismayo…then in a methodical way derives cat’s true character from the names people give it.

 

Waryaa usoo baxay?

[Blessed]

^I love that poem too, describes faaraxs to a t, sow mahaa?

 

I went to a similar event a few years back where he read this (basho) poem and it rattled a few Faraxs, I tell ya. Mid baa ku qayliyey saying 'ee maantoo dhan bisad baa noo wadaaye ujeedadaada naga gaadh'. I wish could access the words..

 

 

p.s I love these types of events, our poets Masha Allah are exceptionally talented and progressive in thought.

[Jacaylbaro]

anyone can post that poem ? ,, waabad nagu wareeriseene.

 

 

Well, i like Gaariye ,,, once he is on the mic ppl never stop laughing to their bottoms. I attended few class session he had at Hargeisa University and you can't imagine how informative it was.

"Oogada sareetiyo, akhlaaq idil ahaanteedba

 

Af iyo Diin ilmuhu waalidkuu uga ekaadaaye

 

Haddaan la is-afgaranayn,dhashii waa ajnabi uune

 

In kastoon aqoon aan barnoo edebta loo sheego

 

Ummaddaa u macallin ah, darkaa aymigooda ahe

 

Ingriis wixii ku la hadleey, ehel wadaagaane

 

Ubad aan kuwaagii ahayn ababi soow maaha
