Oh of course. I didnt think we were making comments on her as a person but just the character she played.

[Lamagoodle]

Somali theatre went through a transformation in the late 80s when "Banaadiri" theatre made a real mark. Before it was dialogue (many of it poetic) and then songs performed on stage. But, the Banaadiri groups added two things which were appreciated; 1) singers did not perform on stage but sung behind the curtain; on stage were actors who danced to the tune and 2) through arts/sound scenes were enacted which really improved the play.

While traditional somali plays are remembered for their soundtracks, Banaadiri plays was holistic; music, masraxa, lyrics etc.

The last real somali play in Somalia was "Land cruiser"; a satirical play by the great Maxamed Cali Kaariye and starring Saado; It was a play that question the extravagant lifestyles of governmet officials; Land cruiser gadoy soo bari geleey. And a few years before that It was waa Maadeeys aduunka dadkana waay matalayaan. This play started with a prologue; five people wearing somali flags started removing them; a testimony of the disintegration of our nation.

LamaG (Land cruiser) play was created by cabdi muxumed amiin.
Waa maadeys was a good play, wayched it live , Xasan Ganey created that play if I am not mistaken.
Bidaari sibiq bey kugu gashaa the play title was funny, and amin amir's cartoon advert was even funnier. Good old days

[Lamagoodle]

DafiyoMiriq,
You are probably right that that particular song was composed by Cabdi mumin. I was talking about who directed the play. Wasn't it Sangub who directed Waa maadeeys? The play I will remember Xasan Geni for is " Galbeed waa la xureeyey Warsaw se ayaa gaagaxisey.

Anyway, these are some of the songs composed by Kaariye;

It was Xasan Ganey sxb..and that is the play Faduma Haldhaa kusoo caan baxday, she wasn't well known before that. At the introduction she was wearing pants she looked Xaax back then.. most female actors used to wear saako dheer.
