Xalimo in this song is so gorgeous

 

[exposedmeat]

I think this is the best Somali song, it makes my blood boil

 

[Gacanka Cadmeed]

Sounds like a sped up variation of the "Harimaade" Ciise song

My hooyo loves that song

 

[Gacanka Cadmeed]

Saado Ali's songs are good especially in the 1980s.

what makes me ignorant if am telling the truth and don't want to end up as madows claiming shit that doesn't belong to us ffs

Punt doesn’t belong to us? Why the hell do they find all these artifacts on Somali soil then when we all inhabited the north? Did we drop from the sky yesterday? Fool not our fault Afars failed evolve their style for over 4000 years

Punt is too long ago to be ascribed to any particular group of Cushites. Af-Maxaa and Af-Maay were one language just 1,500 years ago. That Proto-Somali language was in turn one language with Rendille around 2,000-2,500 years ago or so. East Cushtiic unity goes back about 4,000 years if memory serves me right:

This is all relevant because Punt dates to 2500 BCE at its earliest. Around that time most Cushites in the Horn would have been barely differentiated and largely speaking mutually intelligible dialects and would have only entered the Horn itself barely a millennia earlier. So no particular ethnic group can claim them more than the another.

Sxb, can you link me some Af-Maay Maay literature, I can hardly find some except for Wikipedia. Thanks.

Why are the Somali language closest to Afar-Saho when we are a different branch

I think they are closest to Af-Soomaali/Greater Somalia speakers in terms of language & phenotype that's probably why.

 

[Sophisticate]

Sounds like a sped up variation of the "Harimaade" Ciise song

Harimaade isn't an Ciise song exclusively it along with Zeylaci is practiced by those from the Northwest of Somalia/Somaliland and parts of Galbeed.

Just different migration patterns that somehow landed us geographically close to them. Their branch is actually quite distant from ours in the Lowland East Cushitic group as you can see. But still closer to us than HE Cushitic languages like Sidamo.

I also meant the closest In language

I will spread Harimaade eastwards to Habar Jeclo
