PostHeaderIcon The State of Somali Music

Somali people have a rich musical heritage centered on traditional Somali folklore. Somali songs are usually the product of collaboration between lyricists (midho), songwriters (laxan), and singers (Codka or “voice”). Bands such as Waaberi and Horseed have gained a small following outside of the country. Others, such as Ahmed Cali Cigal and Maryam Mursal, have fused traditional Somali music with rock and roll, bossa nova, jazz, and other modern influences.

However, the current state of Somali Music although hampered by a non existent uncooperative government has managed to flourish fantastically with an array of talented new singers such as Aar Maanta and Farhia Fiska coming to the stage. In addition, legends such as Nimco Yasin and Hassan Aden Samatar are still keeping us entertained. However, there are two issues that need to be addressed in Somali Music and it needs to improved. I hope to discuss these issues in this article whilst providing plausible remedies.

Lindsay Lohan Songs aren’t played much on the radio today. However America’s bad-girl still finds a way to make news on the radio. Today Lindsay Lohan is known less for her singing and acting and more for her partying lifestyle.

Lindsay started her big career in Disney’s remake of The Parent Trap. This movie was just a springboard for her career. Soon not only was she starring in movies, but she was also singing on the sound track. The was several years where America’s little princess could do no wrong.

Lindsay’s teenage years were rough for her. If Lindsay’s music video, ‘Over’ was any indication of her time at home with her family it must have been very traumatic. The music video features her hiding in the bathroom. The video also stars her little sister Ali Lohan praying with a rosary. An actor playing Lindsay’s mother and father, Dina and Michael Lohan are shown arguing in the living room. This is all taking place in a department store window with people watching from the street.
