What with all the news in Minnesota about fraud and all kinds of weird stuff, I got interested in what Somali music sounded like. And like all the music in the world, I found I liked some of it and some not as much. Did a bit of searching and listening and came up with a pick of songs I thought was kind of cool. This is it. Some of it has bilingual lyrics, but most does not. So I have no idea what most of the lyrics mean, could be good, could be lame. But each of these would probably be great mixed with afro pop or even rai. I am pretty sure that each has Somali connections somewhere. I didn't add a couple of songs that I understand are big in the Somali community because I found out they were not Somalia related artists, even though they fit in sound-wise (my favorite which I would play at a wedding or event is French Montana but, oh well). I'm not an expert on the genre, so if you have suggestions of what I am missing, let me know.
