I've been meaning to create this thread for a while. This thread dedicated exclusively to sharing, showcasing and appreciating the very best Somali music of the
kaban genre. The
kaban genre is characterised by the use of the kaban instrument (
oud) being the primary instrument of the music of the song.
Here are some clear ground rules for this thread:
- The video of song posted has to be of a good quality (both audio quality and the visual quality of the video).
- Videos should not contain material that is visually pollutant, offensive or political in any way; the pictures and or videos content should not,
within reason, detract from the music, song or the meaning/message of the song itself.
- Videos that show the lyrics are certainly preferred, if not encouraged.
- The person who posts a song can, if they so wish, provide some narrative as to what the song is about, what particular meaning
or significance it carries etc.
- Posting a cover of an original song is permitted. If a good quality version of the original is found then it should also be posted.
- Only one song/video per post.
