Brève histoire

History

Hargeisa became a center of music beginning in the 1940s, with the establishment of Radio Hargeisa, then the only radio source of live Somali performances. Early performers on the station included Mohamed Saeed "Guron-Jire" and the Hargeisa Brothers Band (Walaalaha Hargeysa), founded by Abdulahi Mohamed Mahmoud "Qarshe". The station played specialized music during Ramadan.

In the 21st century, Somaliland has experienced an artistic revival, led by organized musical collectives based in Hargeisa.

Established in Hargeisa, Xidigaha Geeska (Stars of the Horn) is a prominent group of singers and musicians. They are credited with modernizing the "nationalistic ballad" and encouraging social cohesion through songs like "Allow Noo Tiirisee" and "Gooni Isu Taag." Notable members include Mohamed BK, Yurub Geenyo, and Mursal Muse.
