Safferz Posted February 5, 2011 Hi everyone, I'm working on a project and looking for traditional Somali poetry (of any genre - gabay, geeraar, jiifto, buraanbur, etc) that has been produced in the diaspora and remembers the homeland, perhaps a longing for going back, or memories of what Somalia used to be. Poems that talk about war and conflict are fine too, but the important thing is that the poems are composed by men or women who now live outside of Somalia. Please post if you know of any poems and can share the text (translation is fine as well), or know of any recordings or YouTube clips. Thank you! -Safferz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
