Gabay Aficionados | An epic Journey

[Libaax-Sankataabte]

The Somali inhabited region of Hawd (multi-clan) has always been thought of as the true home of Somali poetry. I won't venture into the Hawd and the North just yet. I'll head to the South and give the mic to two genuine talents there. No, I am not talking about Abshir Bacadle and the usual suspects.

 

The mike blongs to two Southern Poets of different kind. What you will witness is an impressive voyage through the colourful vocals of traditional Somali poetry. Two men. Two different styles of poetry. One struggle. One region.

 

Subkane is from the South … Jowhar and environs.

 

Geedanaar hails from the South as well … Aadan Yabaal to be exact; a city close to Jowhar.

 

 

Here is Subkane. -- Mr Cool

 

Here is Geedanaar. -- Mr Quick

Horta why 90% of our poetry was about politics, fighting, clan based and shyyyyyyt ????
