Hello my Dudes, & Dudettes

 

Quick question, what does Somali Music mean to you?

As in how does it shape your life (if it does at all)

Is there a specific song/artist that you deeply resonate it? (if so attach it, w/a brief description please).

 

I am trying to get a general idea/survey of how people identify/connect with Somali music.

Obviously, all these questions are to help me in a research project I'm doing for a class.

My general aim is to present Somalia in a different light, from the arts/entertainment angle.

 

& Shall i mention i live in a tuulo, so this would help me very, very much as to eradicating some ignorant perceptions

 

Peace, love and black supremacy!

I don't know, but I kinda like toffee pops.

Why did you choose this obscure subject as a school project? I am not sure any Soomaali would help you with this, since heesaha don't shape or pretty much resonate with their lives.

 

Personally, I sometimes listen to heeso (and my laptop has 1,100 of videos and MP3s of Soomaali songs), but by no means does any hees shape my life. Perhaps wadani songs I respect might resonate and remind me the heydays of the country, still doesn't shape my life.

Thanks MMA, maybe my wording was a little strong... honestly any reaction whether deep or surface level to Somali music would be greatly appreciated.

 

& the reason why i picked this broad topic is because (from a younger generation perspective) i have a different connection to Somali music than the older generation. I don't remember/know Somalia, not to get too sappy or anything but it is my form of literature/knowledge (hence epistemology).

[burahadeer]

[Somalicentric]

LOL no i meant the thread you attached, the songs... any specific reason? (I'm trying to put the psychological moves on you)

"How does it make you feel?" *reclines back on the coach* lol

However, I looooooooof this hees, especially the fact it was dubbed on my wedding's video. This is the original one, but its latest version is much better too as well.

to be honest...somali music is my life. me likes the intelligent type of somali music, like M mooge is my fav...i kinda like his stuff it gives me stress relief.

 

i use to replay in my head somali songs that my parents used to listen whenever i got lonely in my boarding schools periods which was usually in a different continents than where my parents used to live. My dad was cheap dude...lol...(large family 8 siblings) I use to go home for like a month once a year. during middle school, i discovered tapes and radios..so i used tape them when i come home n listen to them with my head phones when i go back to school.

 

these songs will give me all the high that i needed when u r in country where u are the only somali there!! So proud of the mooges, magool, duuleh n the likes. thanx to all these fanaaniin. i tired drugs n alcohol ...I never liked them. I just like to chill with natural high...like good music, classic somali, raggae, blues, r&r, pop etc,, or nice lady

then i am kol.

 

Thats why i am proud somali regardless of wat region of somali that i am from. Word to clan cheerleaders....your azz is gonna be toast pretty soon.

 

I have not seen a somali concert yet and also a somali movie!! lemme know which fanaan or movie u recommend. I have tried to watch Black hawk down now for a year. I have the dvd...but everytime that i put it on...i go into deep sleep!! I dont mind seeing a kanaan concert...anybody saw kinaan stuff on cnn couple of days ago. I will try to post them soon since i d/l from cnn when they posted his video. Hes kol.

 

well since i get home after 9:00pm...i just pass out when i see a tv!! after i eat a big mac....

Listening to Somali Music is like tasting strawberries covered in cream through your ears. The classic pentatonic platform launches you into an outerspace of galactic melodies and cosmic voices that can only be described as angelic and extraterrestial. It has the power to turn a non-enthusiast of world-music into an addict, for Somali songs are like viagra-pills sustaining a life-long eargasm; a morphine that neutralizes your daily woes, and delivers a trance of everlasting joy, for as long as the song is playing.

 

It should be illegal.

I love Somali music, or used to it, actually bordering obsession. I love qaraami or old songs.

My fav are old artist, such as tubeec, magool aun, hibo, abdinasir macalin, mooge, kinsi, amina abdillahi, etc

 

somali songs cater all sort of moods, but i wont say a song can shape your life.
