on itunes (if you don't have it, get it !), look for the song "camel song." it is from a cd titled "folk music and ceremonies of ethiopia". somalis are represented in that song. it is so funny. i couldn't stop laughing wallahi:

"ma geel baan amaaneynaa... sidii loogu heesi jirey miyaa?" :lol:

i love this shidh. there is a guy in the background, you can hear him clearly, he is telling the singer what to do. well, the singer, an actual reer baadiye guy, is having a hard time with the concept. why would anyone be interested in camel song, he is thinking lol :lol:

but the funny thing is that the foreigners think the exchange is part of the song :lol:

mystic-- it is like this; "hoboloo ho.... (hoboleeya)... gaabaneey de'ey ... hadiis kugu taa... guusa noo da'a (hoboleeya) ... gab caleen dhala ..."

wtf? this is some messed up somali. i can't tell if they are from ogadenia or elsewhere. the accent is rather amusing, though.

legend-- yea, yea i know... i have to say, the australian camels are way better than ours though. the funny thing is the geeljire guy doesn't get why he has to sing about it. he sings usually to pass time. but now there are like people in his face-- with microphones and shidh :lol:

by the way, itunes has a great somali cd titled "the freedom songs of the somali republic"... recorded late 1950s, and released january 1962. holy crap ! and the sound is so good. it is part of the smithsonian collection. i'm often saddened by how we lost our archives in this god-forsaken civil war. but you can hear abdullahi kershi, ahmed shire, magool, daleeys, etc in that cd
