[shishisennin]

@chemnerd52 This is a Somali instrument, this kind of music is called Qaraami wich means classical somali music, stop trying to steal our tradition, you habashi have your own traditions to be proud of, stop trying to steal ours!

[gkambal2]

an instrument is an instrument let people be and make music

[shishisennin]

@chemnerd52 It's not only East-African, it's Somali! Somaliweyn ha noolaato, allahu akbar.

[drobbah]

This is a somaliland song

[Mahadwar]

@drobbah

That statement right there embodies everything that is wrong with somalia ( and somaliland, puntland, and whatever future part thats what to jump ship). If you cant figure out why, then may allah help you.

[CushiticSomalianMale]

Somalia a.k.a the Land of Punt and also the land of Poets aka Somalian-Puntite Poets...

Bless all my eastern-cush'itic Somali people

[l3ravoVids]

@CushiticSomalianMale lol i find ur commnt again fake muslim.

[shishisennin]

@CushiticSomalianMale Mate, you describe somalis wrong, we are not jareer or bantu , Somalis is an own ethnic race with it's own looks, some say we are arabized when we really are not, do you know that the Dir is the oldest and the most ancient clan of somalia? and the dir is from the north so you can't talk shit about the founders of our people, alot of history is written in the north, it's where the somali tradition came from, it's where the real ethnic somali first started to be honest.

[CushiticSomalianMale]

@Maxadeey

Af-ingiriis waxaan ku bari'doonaa maalintaa aqlaaq lagu soo baro.. or else hada lagu soo barin, anigaa ku bari'doono aqlaaq iyo ixtaraam.. marka dont act stupid.. but act like a real lady... aaway xishoodkaaga.. mise dhoocilnimadaada baa u baratay... in that case we need to send your dhaqan-celis-ass back to dhulka hooyo... soomaaha.. lolkkkkk

@zack3mohamud

So you don't know what Cushitic means and you don't understand the point is trying to make. Instead of knowing or looking it up, you dismiss and say his weirdo!  Perfect:)
