This is one version Abwaan cabdi siyaaro


A different type of geeraar with in the gabay




These 3 types of geeraar with in the gabay are my favorite

[Lamagoodle]

Khalid,
Actually, it depends where you are; several cultural/traditional dances, poems are called differently, depending on where you are

Abshir Bacaadle was talented

[Lamagoodle]

This Baarlex dude is also talented



This Qarshe weeye qalbigu armuu naguu qarxaa is sung in almost everywhere in Somalia

[Khalid Ali]

This version of geeraar is good to bacadle

[Lamagoodle]

This version of geeraar is good to bacadle

Khalidow, Bacadle was a master; he could do the geerar, the guurow, the gabay and even the saar.

This Dirir guy is also a talent.

The HOOYAALAYEY, HOOYAALAYEY is perhaps the most common gabay by Somalis.

[Lamagoodle]

BTW, Khalid, is this the Sayid's voice?

This is my favourite Sayid Maxamed Poem.

[BlackVelvet]

Is this one guurow?

It's unfortunate that you hardly ever see suroow performed anymore. Along with saar & beereey.

[Lamagoodle]

Blackvelvet, I already post that Guurow/saar by the great Cali Jareere who was a student of Sheikh Nuur Xusein fraternity which is located outside Jilib (xaramka). Sheikh Nuur Xuseen fraternity also fostered Carees Ciise and this guy; shiraan shidaad muraad.

A sort of Islami/somali gospel school which combined religious songs with occassional love song





Anarchist,
Are the Beerey, Kabeebey and Qaboobey related? I know that Beerey is usually played in Hiiraan; Kabeebey in Muqdisho/afgooye and Qaboobey in Bardheere. Farming societies.

[Lamagoodle]

BTW Blackvelvet, this is the Guurow. Cabdullahi Geedi shadoor and M Gacal Xaayow

[Anarchist]

@Lama- Sxb kabeebeey is just niiko & is Reer Shabelle dance whereas beereey has origins in Jubba and other farming communities like you mentioned. They're very close.

This video has some kabeebeey starting @4.12 and then geeraar starting @6.25. Shiidle from Mahadaay.

[Lamagoodle]

Anarchist gartay saaxib. In Baardheere they dance to "Qaboobey".

Did you remember this? They used to visit H/wadaag under the leadership of the CAWAR guy. I used to visit Boondheere just to see them. Very poetic.

[Anarchist]

@Lama. Wax ma hilmaantid sxb.

I remember the troupe and the cawar dude. Odayaasha gashaanka xiran jiray oo suuqa galab kasto ku ciyaari jiray falaarta ma xasuusataa?

[Lamagoodle]

Haa saaxib Hawl wadaag -iskoolka agtiisa, suuqa mijiska gadaashiisa- odeyaasha kabaha falaarta ku tuuri jirey.

Gurigeena wuxuu ka soo horjeeday reer qalqale iyo odeygii lahaa caasiyaasha (Amal aabaheeda) meesha bohosha camal ahayd;

Hawlwadaag waay shidneeydey; Baar Bekin, Tokyo, jidka dabka ka imaado; Ma xasuusataa guriga Maryan Mursal walaasheeda? farmashiga hanti wadaag?
