Lol, I would agree I like the traditional sounds better. But I think it's inevitable to become influenced by the outside world, especially if you live outside your own country. In most cases, traditional music is kept well alive back home.

I like the following artist because of his ability to keep traditional and be innovative at the same time.

Here he is again with the living Somali legend, Hudeidi. This has a more traditional instruments/sounds to it.

Here's a concert back in Djibouti. Performing is the great Ahmad Naaji. This is traditional to the max! You might enjoy this.

The problem is that not all Nigerians are going out of the country to copy American-like music, it is taking over our traditional music in large strides. Everyone thinks I'm weird because I'm in my 20s and don't listen to that stuff.

EnlightenedSoul: ^^^ Mar hore man ma ogid? Get with the times bruv. Hmm, I think most Somalis consider Somali the ethnicity, and the 5 major classifications the tribes ( Cisse, Isaaq, Hawiye, Darood, Dir iyo Mirifle) and then of course each has its sub-tribes and it's sub sub-tribes. Somali as the tribe and Cisse as the clan makes it sound so much closer.

other countries have tribes like kenya. Somalis have clan. Clan means family, because we are all the same ethnicity. what do you think qabil means?

intaay saano baa jirta? Niin mahaysataa?

You mean you dont like First of all, Introduction and Oliver Oliver Oliver Twiiist? That's probably a good thing. Shh, Don't tell anyone I said so.

Some of us have to prefer tradition or else it dies

lmao, what's with the long face and varied upset facial impressions.

@ Nyumba: Yes, the Rwandan music sounds nice, the people look gorgeous

@Fulaman merci

@Enlightenedsoul for a lot Somalis it is more like this Muslim>Clan>Subclan>subclan>Somali>Nationality lool

I'm gonna call you habaryar from now on although my mother is a Dulbahanta.

I thought Dhulbahante were Somaliland and Somalia area, I don't think I've met a Dhulbahante in Djib, but outside it I've noticed consistent qurux along with the Xawaadle people. Nice people also!

I took religion out of the picture because I was talking purely about roots, but your right about the subclan before clan thing. It starts at home and gets more inclusive.

LOL@habaryar walaal. I'm not old enough to be your habaryar socially w/o really being your habayar :-)

There are 3 Somalis here.....

yousuf, me and enlightened soul. Does this scare you? 3 is alot since we are somalis, somalis in small number can do alot of damage. Remember the waste gate operation. Only 4 Somali guys. Remember when the Somali coast guard kept the usa at bay and took captain phillips, it was only 4 somali men. most of them young.

The other Somalis seem very cool, I think you are by yourself

enlightened soul already says she sees her self as somali, and not black unlike what you guys wanted to believe.

And its only a matter of time, before she will stand up to you guys and show how she feels about you guys.

Its embededd in somali culture my dear fula.

You realize how disgusting that sounds right. Stop embarrassing yourself.

I couldn't care less what Qabil you're from.

Captain Phillips and Westgate are nothing to brag about. Your views/attitude is troubling, are you some kid? Ma tageyrta alshabaab iyo mooriyaanta badweyn?

Lmao @ habaryar with benefits that sounds disgusting wallah.

@Enlightenedsoul there are a few Dulbahanta in djib, most of them like my mother are of the Daaljira subclan. They are a small minority there, my mother told me her grandad had to flee Somaliland because they were part of the Dervishes and when their forts were bombed the remainders of the Dervish warriors had to either stay and fight to the death, get executed by the British or make a move.

Dulbahanta, Xawadle and Ogaden girls are very beautiful... the ones I've seen were all gorgeous.

My cousin got married to an Ogaden man last year. I'm telling you the girls that were at the wedding left me in awe

Stop embarrassing us and yourself nacas yahow
