Hot, Young and Bold - Somalia's New Artists



They have taken the Somali music industry by storm. Young cool and gorgeous artists who asserted themselves in a market dominated long by older generations who were riding aging fans who still clang to their epic yester years before the devastating civil war. But that was then. Now came  into the arena young and bold artists in their first 3 decades, in the comfort of new homes in the west and with new technology available. The sing about war, peace but always LOVE! They sing singly in duos and in groups. In styles ranging from hip hop to classical to pop to even jazz. You name it!

Once such duo is the incredibly attractive Farxiya and Dalmar in their new bold 'Dhunksho' or 'Kissing' song that introduced to the Somali industry an intimacy that was shied from before. Here it is. Enjoy!
