Yes, you are right mate, as her manager, she has a buraabur band here and business is booming because so many Somalis are getting married in Australia. They are called The Buraanbur 5 Can I bring them over to the States?

[Mowhawk]

Although I never heard any Somali men singing or dancing buraanbur, but I heard and saw Somali women reciting their own poetry. I don't know how good they were, or how serious a paternalistic society like us took them.
