Reeyo Posted January 9, 2013 War dee waa runtay, you've ruined my very sentimental thread about rosey gone-by days of a different Somalia, sheesh. If you read carefully Jacpher it says 'Imagine going back for the first time' and 'what would you like to see'. Maxa kalee argtay? Somali culture doesn't need a reform, we've barely got any dhaaqan left. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jacpher Posted January 9, 2013 ^Don't be in denial. Somali culture is kicking and alive. It just needs to rid itself of anything that's unislamic Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blessed Posted January 9, 2013 Riwaayado iyo kaban songs waa laga ilbaxay dee.. Films on HCTV iyo tacky riwayaads (read parties) at Paronama are the order of the day lol. If you go in the summer, you get Somali culture at it's richest, Hargaisa book / literature festival as well as Qurbo joog parties with tradtional dances (though slightly political).

chubacka Posted January 9, 2013 What would I like to see in Somalia, libraries, cafes, playgrounds, public transport, big open squares to spend evenings chatting. I'd love to feel anonymous and just walk around for hours. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SomaliPhilosopher Posted January 9, 2013 Speaking of Kabans/Ouds, I recently purchased one. Know any Somalis in the Minnesota area that will teach an aspiring Omar Dhule? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reeyo Posted January 9, 2013 ^Pray tell me where did you find an Somali Ud? Good luck finding a teacher, that is an art that needs to be preserved. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Try Axmed Cali Cigaal. You can ask around and im sure someone will tell you his hangouts. I remember seeing him play a Kaban when I was younger.
