Tune of the Day

oo0 - can you share some youtube music vids if you have a moment would love somewhere to start with listenin 2 Somali music

The modern stuff is pretty pop crap, but I’ll try to find something.

Got this record, Dur Dur Band from Mogadishu (capital of Somalia). 80s African funk vibes going strong.

This is the more pop crap I mean. This guy is very famous, classic song. Loads of crazy things going on with the rhythm changes all the time.

Here’s some more pop stuff.

It is very common that the live performances are all playback.

Traditional vibes on these.

They’ve moved away from traditional instruments in the modern stuff, now everything sounds like synth workstations when it comes to the choices of sounds.

This is another example. The music video style and quality is seen as pretty advanced from what I’ve understood. +2 mil views and it looks edited in Windows Movie Maker. Tbf it’s old but yeah, newer stuff isn’t much better.

EDIT ok, video quality is better, but no way that is a real violin playing lol.
It has that afrobeat rhythm too, and absolutely lovely synths if you ask me.

Spammed a bit here, maybe it’s better to move these posts to a new thread or something.

yeah epic, going to work my way through them & see you in the afrobeat threadz

Why, what did you do haha

Also gateman is a big tune :gunfinger:

We were in the smoking area, wasn’t being to much of a sod at the time, just trying to act cool. The night progressively got messy.

I went up to Sheffield to meet some DJs (who like Voldermort will not be named) and my friends were like oh, we’re going to some church thing there too we’ll give you a lift. (Bearing in mind we used to smoke in the Jesus Army bus with them with that fucking awesome rainbow on the outside… good days… I don’t think they were trying to convert us either they were just sound).

Then I remember a lot of shots, and a lot of people dutty wining to DnB. And then the next day, said Christian friend is like… I must have been buying you all shots yesterday I think I spent like 200 quid. It was a fucking awesome night.

ahhh and then the DJs let us stay over and the flatmate sold cigarillos and was like, I’m up for a party, we can smoke as much as we want. I remember looking in the mirror the next day before the drive home thinking omg I’ve been talking to people like this. I lookd like a haloween character was such a mess. AHhhh I miss English parties.

& think it’s just one dude aftr a google and yeah twas either 'im or route 94 :woman_shrugging:t4::man_shrugging:t3:

Gateman is a fucking BANGER
