Bro you seem to take it personally...like people are questioning your somalinimo or has in the past. Most somalis I know growing up in the west are just confused culturally. I include myself in that group. We are not fully somalis or full of the country we grew up in. So we are all over the place. Personally I am jealous of peope who has strong culture and convictions. Also I doubt our kids will even be somalis except for name only.It was just an example.
People on this forum are putting diaspora on this high pedalstal for no reason. I noticed this when it comes to weddings especially.
Putting the siciid show beside a lot of diaspora are being raised in different counties across the word experiencing different Cultures.
The @TheSayWallahiPodcast spoke about this actually in their first episode. How people identify as american since they are born and raised in America. Somalia is a country a lot of people haven’t gone to. Diasporan are raised in a different environment so of course they are going to be different than actual Somalis.
Like 97% of my friends don’t even listen to somali music. If they all got married I honestly would only expect to listen to it to make the parents happen. But I am 100% expecting hip hop and etc.
It’s your wedding. Why play music you don’t even enjoy
Niggas be judging the wedding like they were actually there. All that should matter is the fact that the bride and groom were happy and were having a good time.
Having said that I believe some music is classier than others and I just cant have drill music in a wedding no matter how much one enjoys it
