Apart from customs or way of doing things (which are shit anyway) is there nothing else like dances or something?

Poetry, we are known as the nation of poets.

Folklore, stories, history.

Dances like "Dhaanto".

We got a sport called 'Istunka' sometimes known also as 'Dabshid' since it's often used as performance during the Dabshid or Somali New Year in the Somali calendar, I think.

Our music is distinctive and part of our rich heritage.

Many more things exist, but most city dwellers have adopted Arabic culture due to Islam and the chaos of Somalia makes it hard to preserve what is left I guess.

So young 21 year old Somali guys would do Dhaanto for fun? or maybe sit around and do a bit of poetry? Maybe nod to Farxiya Fiska music without dancing since it's considered unmanly?

I think more Arab culture will be the saviour of Somali society to be honest.
