Somali music through the ages

Recommended Posts

Deeq A.   

Somalis have always regarded poetry as the pinnacle of their literary heritage but the elegance of the poetic expression came through singing in folklore dances. Before the arrival of the Arabian oud, the ears of the Somali people were trained to the beat of the African drum. Known as 'the Nation of Bards', the people found expression through rhythm and rhyme in dance and singing.
