Swahili Taarab: Vidonge

[MrRhamu]

wow surely true somali...

[schoolsucksyes]

She's right here in America guys...every Somali eventually comes here

[asal97]

Oh my god.................

It has been three years since i watched this clip and the views were a few thousands.

This song reminds me about many things.

[mshelahalisi]

she is the best!!!!!!!!!!!!! hata mukafanya nini jamani siye nimuhali kuachana mmh!

[asal97]

@mshelahalisi Indeed she is the best.

[lusaka99]

hallooow people is she a live 

[asal97]

@lusaka99 Yes and she s kicking....lolz

Any other questions?

[Warwaainigi]

alamagan shame on you, express ur feeling without labelling all of us.. ignorant.. as if ur made of the special US...

[nandi609]

I used to know Asha Abdo when I was young. she was the best and still is so haters can yamasa!!!

[MrGololi]

Asha Abdo was born and brought up in Kismayo. She worked for Radio Mogadishu as one of its talented group of singers. Later when Somalia went to the docks in 1991, she left for Mombasa, Kenya, where she made this memorable and a beautiful song. What I and you think about Asha means very little. Asha is a lovable person and has tons of talents. Her songs made us happy, and I personally wish her well in her future endeavours.

Thank you Asha

[1142660]

i remember this song wah we used to sing it tukichokozana na jirani au those gossip za watoi.....memories..

[MultiMohammed30]

taarb is da best when i lisen to it , it remains me when i was growing we used to compit dancing it and they wil pay as money mostly during wedding times HARUSI from Rahuma SD

[skoolbay]

She is in usa

[MsKathra]

Is it true that malika died in a refugee camp? and if she is alive why did she stop singing.

[wizdomboi]

It doest matter to us Tanzanian where is your origin what matters is that you speak our lovely swahili and we understand each other. Asha mam u makes us to be proud of who we are.and always be remembered as asha mtanzania

[FOWZIYAHtv]

Whats wrong with Bantus?? Nothing is wrong with them, their a human beings...Asha Abdo is my grandma she's mixed with somali, bajuun and oman. Dont look at her Nationality but her talent wise, she's a legend and still is. Lets talk abt how good of her songs instead Of Tribes, ok thank you!

[abdiottawa]

Could we once for all enjoy the song with little bit of respect for Asha Abdo. We do not have discuss her race and people's origins everytime. She is a Somali, talented musician, and a beautiful lady (Our Queen) who speaks multiple languages. That is all. I wish folks here would consider people's feelings and realize how hurtful their racist words can be. Please show some respect to our icon Asha Abdo Suleiman - Malaika, the queen of East Africa.

[kira15able]

@radsama just  remaind me her doughter, Aunty Ruma. this song used to be popular

[kira15able]

just remaind me her doughter, Aunty Ruma. this song used to be popular

[maodsv]

Nyimbo hii "Wape wape vidonge vyao..." ni makumbuko yangu ya wakati mrefu saana karibu miaka 14 nilipo rudi huko nyumbani Arusha Tanzania !!!

[maodsv]

Nyimbo hii "Wape wape widonge vyao" ni makumbuko yangu wakati nilio rudi huko Arusha Tanzania baada ya miake 14 !!! Ahsante Malika!

[dalmarqaran]

mama asha alyaa khaillk long life our girl wat we lost our nation icon

[qureysh99]

kwahili is part of somalis too,cuz a lot of pp who live coast of somalia spoke kiswahili so its part of us and also kiswahili mostly is Arabic and there is no one ward of bantu, so what!!!

[ngenes2006]

@qureysh99 Actually it does have some bantu...it's a mixture of different languages, arabic, portuguese, bantu e.t.c. example the word mtu (person) in most bantu languages, they sound the same...

[primezz1]

@qureysh99 u don't know what u talking about. swahili is 70% bantu. the other percents is shared among portugees, french, arabic, italian, german, and english. go do ur homework once more.

[Gutsyndicate]

WoW what a voice! Bi Maliki is from Kwenu, "Kismayo Caday"

[123kenyan]

iluv u asha abdu u rock my world

[mukamim]

This takes me back to the good old days, when love and life were all very possible, in a way that only the young can imagine. Note: am talking about the rhythm and the feeling that the song brings to me...then I didn't know what it meant...not that I completely know now

[TUTHMOSIS12]

@mukamim , i feel u. i am at the same crossroads. but when i listen to her i am tempted to go back out there and look for it. when things go wrong, her music is the cushion between our breaking hearts and a cold hard place. Mola akubariki, Mama Asha.

[petero22003]

Safi Bi Malika Mkenya Msomali

[jiirom]

Will it make sense to degrade an international star to a local singer from Kismayo? Whatever the case, she is truely unique East African Star with lots of capabilities.

[awetaka]

I have been aching to hear some of this original taraab music with little knowledge that actually some is available on youtube, how i love this musich.

[ayadoonle]

[fatma134]

i love this song cant get enuff of it

[bwanakeino]

I met a woman married to a Somali man, in one western country, who told me that she's the daughter of Malika. I believed her because she told me details that only a daughter knows. Thanks lady for the lunch in your home and your husband for helping me fix my car.

[pentracy]

[archimedexx]

Salaam jamaa,

This song reminds me her performance at Uwanja wa Taifa back in early 90´s. I recognize her as a true ambassador of east african muzic.

[asal97]

Salaam, khabari ghani?

Love and Peace to all.

I am from Somalia, the very town and place where Aisha was born.

I am not a big fun of her but, I always care about her situation as she is an East African queen and it is an honor to all from KISMAAYO.

Ooh what a tragedy to be away from Home.

[zuuleee]

if you miss it, y not go there?

[asal97]

@zuuleee I have done it ....lolz

[hasahnee]

translation:

"Give them, give them there morsels..

...whether they like it or not; its there own problem"

[LaurencioVieira]

Oh, no! You misunderstood me, princess. I was quoting the chorus to a parody song that was done by some kenyan artists back in the early nineties. Basically they took the original lyrics and added negatives or sayed the opposite.

Oh ok... Well i didn't know that.. I thought u were hating on it.. lol... sorry man! Peace and love!!!

Hi! Do you know how I can contact her? Does she have a manager or a band? Please inform me!

[Bajuuni]

Why do you want to trace her and ca't the relative of hers connect you to her?

[buashraf]

Bajuuni, I am a Journalist. I knew her relative who lives in Columbus, Ohio who was supposed to link me to her in Michigan. But I have since left the US. I lost the contact of this guy as O I left the US in haste. I would like to scare a radio interview with her for the benefit of listeners in East Africa. I hope I have answered your query!

[buashraf]

Bajuuni, I am a Journalist. I knew her relative who lives in Columbus, Ohio who was supposed to link me to her in Michigan. But I have since left the US. I lost the contact of this guy as I left the US in haste. I would like to set a radio interview with her for the benefit of Kiswahili speaking listeners in East Africa. I hope I have answered your query!

[Bajuuni]

Ok that makes sence, thank you.

[leshune]

were you deported ? why the haste?  lol

[buashraf]

What makes you think that I was deported? No but I got a better offer wherever I am. I am not under the stress anymore. I am at peace with myself now because I got a better job and good working conditions. I miss my friends though!

[jnyerere89]

Ebu nikuukuze..unaishi Kenya..au r u from Kenya? Mimi nime notive Kiswahili cha Kenya na Kiswahili cha Tanzania kinatofautiana.. Sijui kwanini...

[buashraf]

Sidhani kuna Kiswahili cha Kenya wala Kiswahili cha Tanzania. Nchini Tanzania watu wanazungumza Kiswahili kwa lafudhi tofauti. Kuna wachagga, wahaya, wazaramo n.k. Kenya vivyo hivyo. Sasa Kiswahili cha Kenya ni gani na cha Tanzania ni gani? Ukisema mwambao wa Afrika Mashariki nitakubali kwamba kuna Lahaja tofauti tofauti na hao ndio waswahili wenyewe!!!

[buashraf]

Aisha Abdu Suleiman aka Malika comes from the Kiswahili speaking coast of Somalia. She has relatives in Lamu and Mombasa. I know this from her Kenyan relative who is known to me. She speaks and sing in Somali, Barawa, Arabic and Kiswahili, " the Bajuni dialect" . She has also done a few lines in English. I too suspect that she might know some Italian given the fact that Southern Somalia was an Italian Colony.

[Bajuuni]

Yes your are right, she also sings in Chinese but I am not sure if she speaks it.

[SexyCat75]

Bajuuni hello dear...I would like u to be my buddy :-)
