Idman, a great song. I did not know that you had a great taste for somali music. I am impressed
Beledweyne is probably the only somali song that 30+ somalis can sing. The lyrics were taught in Somali literature classes before our demise.
This is a song composed by, I guess Abdi Weys, who was competing with Hadraawi to become the number 1 composer of somali songs. It is sung by the great M Mooge Liiban. It mocks Hadraawi's song and asks him to verify; the events in the story.
Hadraawi came on top; Hooyo and Beledweyne made him a household name; these two songs killed Hadraawi's opponents.
Attempts by Qeys to compose a sinister song and give to Samatar ( a favourite of Hadraawi( failed. The song by Qeys concerned the greatness of the Mooge brothers.
I don't know whether there is an ounce of truth to the above, but the story goes ...
