“Somali songs have a rich history rooted in oral poetry, with modern popular music emerging in the 1930s through genres like balwo and heello, which blend traditional elements with instruments like the oud. The 1970s and 80s are considered a “golden age” for the fusion of Somali styles with genres like jazz, funk, and reggae, with bands like Waaberi gaining international acclaim. Today, contemporary artists continue to evolve these traditions, incorporating genres like hip-hop, while preserving the cultural heritage through musical storytelling.
