Somalia🇸🇴 Golden Age Music - 1 HOUR SOMALI AFRO FUNK - 70s 80s - Afropop🔥🔥🔥

Hello! Hola! Bonsoir!

Here we feature a taste of the East Africa. African World Music from Somalia🔥🔥🔥🔥

Due to the blogosphere, Somali music from the 1980s is nowadays characterized as funk. These bands were very versatile and had an overarching repertoire that infused many Somali and foreign genres.”

Some of the most prominent bands of this time include Iftin, Waaberi Muqdisho, and Waaberi Hargeysa, among a host of others.

Somalia boasts a rich history of poetry and dance. From the 1930s a growing number of artists started playing the rhythms, melodies, and harmonies on ouds, violins, accordions, and other instruments. In the process, they created new Somali genres like balwo and heello, which later cross-pollinated with music from neighboring countries.

From the 1950s through to the late 1990s, musicians developed their craft by delving deeper into local genres.

Traditional instruments such as nasaro (high ritual drum), madhuube (thumb piano), fuugwo (trumpet) shareero (lute), muufe (horn) and seese (one-chord violin) were integrated with, and in some instances replaced by, the guitar, sax, keyboard and drums. This represented a turning point.

Somali music expanded beyond the confines of traditional folk music to fusing with non-Somali genres such as maqam (Arabic), taarab (East African), jazz, funk, afrobeats and reggae. Sit back, relax and have a taste of Mogadishu.
Enjoy🎉
