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 Iāll 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.
Hereās some more pop stuff.
It is very common that the live performances are all playback.
Traditional vibes on these.
Theyāve 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 Iāve understood. +2 mil views and it looks edited in Windows Movie Maker. Tbf itās old but yeah, newer stuff isnāt 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 itās 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
Shouldāve posted jah War
lol
This is the only other bru-c tune I know tbh, used to play it quite a bit
the silent one?
THAaAaAt one! You legend, yes 'tis jokes. Kamakaze repping Leicester too like a g.
Devilman rudest as always. Thanks for the inspo going to check out KDot because his lines are wicked in that.
Oh thatās Breach. I (think) I met them once at (shameless) Plug in Sheffield when I was in college days. They werenāt impressed with me.
Why, what did you do haha
Also gateman is a big tune
We were in the smoking area, wasnāt 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, weāre going to some church thing there too weāll 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 donāt 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, Iām 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 Iāve been talking to people like this. I lookd like a haloween character was such a mess. AHhhh I miss English parties.
& think itās just one dude aftr a google and yeah twas either 'im or route 94
Gateman is a fucking BANGER
