"My Country", It's a wadani song, love the hook.


Onkod means thunder. It's a love song. I love the rhyming.


Last one is not the Somali anthem, it's as a version done by Somali singers (not sure if they are famous), they took the hook and added new verses. I like to think of it as Somalia's "We are the World".

I wa shown this video, and the song accompanying it sounds super interesting & unique to me. I understand about 0.000000000001 of what they're saying though, which basically amounts to the word "guur" in the title of the song.
