Does anyone know who started this balaayo? 
The fact that people are starting to believe that Somalis abandoned their original culture to 'become Arabs' has to be a psyop.
You see Dhaanto festivals in the diaspora. Somali traditional music is still being created, and I have yet to see a Somali creating a song in Arabic Scale or with heavy Middle Eastern influence.
Here's a modern rendition of a beautiful old Somali song with traditional instruments:
Somali is the majority language with Somali equivalents for every Arabic, Italian, and English loan word.
Somalis dress in Dirac, baati, macawiis, hoos guunti, guuntino etc++ whenever I'm at home I'm in my baati the whole time. Even old attire is being brought back e.g. Jubbad (mind you, this has been continuously worn, just not on a large scale e.g. by Somali Sufis and Sultans).
Here are some websites to support Somali cultural attire:

Modern inspiration of Hido iyo Dhaqan: https://dhaqancollection.com/
Jubbads: https://sabrstyles.com/ and https://21stcenturysultan.com/
Somalis eat Somali cuisine and take part in nomadic traditions. This video is only 7 years old:
There's so much more, but I wish this site would show more appreciation and spread more positivity about our dhaqan
