Current Somali Singers

[King-of-Awdal]

Well any recommendation on any good New Generation somali singers. am just starting listening to somali music since i got hooked up to it this past summer when i was in Djbouti. So far i like King Khalid, Hibo Nuura and Ubah Dahir Fahmo. anymore recommendation's. and hassan adan samatar is off the table so dont bother.

[SummerRain]

I like Fuad Omar, Abdullai Boqol, Kaskey, Lafoole( I recommend him) and Ali Ukun.


I love Samatar.

[King-of-Awdal]

ohh i forgot about Boqol he is good. well fouad Omar sounds good in CD albums only cause when u hear his voice in real life it sucks. Kaskey, Lafoole and Ali Ukun never heard of him but ill check em out for shoo. and for ya i recomment fahmo dahir.

[SummerRain]

Never seen Mr. Omar live in concert. I hate Somali concert wallahi. Someone like me, I'm bound to get into a fight with a skinny. Anyway, dee Faduma Dahir is an Oldie. or is there a fahmo for real? Never heard of her in that case

The oldies I listen to are:

Magool
Samatar
S.Tubeec
M. Mooge and his bro

[King-of-Awdal]

Ismahan i dont like oldies and naa i didnt mean fadumo dahir my bad i meant Ubax Dahir or Ubax Fahmo as she is known. but yea fouad omar sounds horrible in real life.

I can't stand today's Somali music with their excessive use of the electronic Organ, I don't know who is who or what.

I used to listen to classics by:

-Beer Dilaacshe
-Kooshin
-Cumar Dhule
-Ahmedc Naji
-Fadumo Qassim
-Khadija Qalanjo
-Fadumo Ahmed
-Hibo Nura

Nothing that is produced today can even come close to these classics. Every morning before going to school, the radio used to be on & I grew up listening to Hobalada Waaberi.

[SummerRain]

I love this song by Qalanjo iyo Samatar. Somali music was at its peak this time.

PS Listening to Somali music aided me in learning the language. Kid you not.

[Koronto91]

^Yeah, Khadija Qalanjo was a great signer.

This song of hers was one of my favorites growing up:

I used to have his album back in the day but I can't really find any of the songs on that album online. One of them is this one used as background music for this picture video on youtube.

Thanx Gandsa. I know his albums are hard to find.

Ismahan123.

Thanx, I love the song on the 1st link. Awesome jam.

[DawladSade]

I am not big Somali music fan and I especially never understood why people like Hassan Adan Samatar, guy cannot sing if his life depended on it.

King some I like are kaskeey, Boqol, all the 70's hobolada crews, Wadani songs especially Ogaden War classics...Fahma that Hargeisa singer sounds just wack, fuad can't sing, king khalid's beats are the highlight not him, etc
