The lady is singing, ‘I am warning you guys, I hear drums playing for me and it’s healing me and I won’t resist. It’s my medicine. Dooyo has taken me over and I won’t stop dancing!’” 🤘🏽
if anyone is coming here from emily the criminal id totally recommend checking out more of dur-dur band's songs :) their music is so beautiful and holds a special place in my heart. yabaal is my favorite song by them, gorof (elixir) and ladaney - woman's name are also excellent. im so happy to see this band get more recognition
Dooyo was a dominant sea sprit that once ruled the high seas according to Somali folklore. Ancient Somalis used to offer sacrifices, in the form of frankincense, gold, amber and fine garments. This song and other folk dances were specifically dedicated to the giant to solit his help for a safe voyage. In this day and age, Dooyo is no longer relevant for that purpose, yet his dance survives in the Somali folk culture.
@@dhegadheer2600 Dooyoow has nothing to do with the story listed above. Dooyoow derives from dooy, the red muddy land, particularly near rivers. The lands Jubba River passes in Jubbada Dhexe and Hoose are called dooy. That is also the song Xasan Aaden Samatar, who hailed from Diinsoor (a dooy land). He sang a famous song called, _"Weeraroow _*_dooyoow_*_ waniini."_ He is singing about that land.
I’m not Somali I’m 🇭🇹 but ive found a appreciation for your culture hope I’m not intruding you culture a lot of yt people have been doing it to my people I don’t want to be one of them so I hope I’m invited to the Somali cook out love ❤️
Welcome, bro/sis. This is your culture. The human experience should be greater than the barriers we set for each other, or see, in the end, humans, that is what we all are, humans; needs, pride - imperfect. Black, white, or otherwise, it is nothing but a manifestation of an impeccable intelligence, and when it is all said and done, we are nothing but guests in this realm, the vanity that comes with being too consumed by the colors and differences of the temporary shell we are blessed with and our insistence in passing it on will lead to nothing but rife and ruin, as it has, again, and again....let's transcend this hindrance, we are capable; that is where our true potential lies.
@@ccc-uk2nuPerfectly said. We were created from this earth which has many different colors and shapes and just as Allah promises he will return us back to the earth since vanity for material possessions will be of no use to us at the end of day. Peace and love
the lady singing is none other than Sahra Abukar dubbed "dawo" meaning "healer" because her magic voice healed and warmed the hearts of music lovers of those days 😍 Nowadays she resides in the USA We love you Mam
She lives in the city of Columbus, Ohio, now and is retired from singing. She was one of the top five singers and fan favourite of Somalia in the late 1980s, along with Sulfa and Faadumo Qaasim. She also sung at my sister's wedding at Hotel Jubba in April, 1988. Since I was a nine-year-old boy, my mother refused to let me go to that night's wedding at the hotel. She instead paid me a thousand shillings, yet I cried to sleep on that night. Today, however, I still have the wedding tape.
The craziest thing has just happened to me. I have been listening to Somali Funk by Stanton Warriors from like a month ago. COMPLETELY SEPARATELY, I have been getting interested in Somali culture and food, and randomly just searched "old Somali music", and found this song in the playlist. I start listening to it and realise it is the sample in Somali Funk!!! How crazy is that?? You guys probably don't care but that's pretty crazy to me
Things like these happen to me and I have the same reaction as you😂 if u Have any questions about Somali culture or anything somali related you can ask me or just visit the r/Somalia 😊
And if u need any translations just ask me. I can’t translate songs that much unless it’s basic Somali because they speak really complicated but I can understand.
@@a_isha. Thank you! One thing I'm always curious about. The banana with every meal, do you eat it separately or cut it up and mix it in what you're eating? 😂 Also do you eat 3 bananas a day? One with every meal?
@@snsnsnsss this question is very popular haha. Personally I cut it up and mix it into my rice, it’s mostly eaten with rice even and Sometimes I eat with Somali spaghetti We don’t eat it with every meal, maybe at lunch but it depends on what you eat, if it’s rice, spaghetti then definitely!😄
Much love from Ethiopia, your brethren accros the border. Lets unite and take it back to the classics, filled with knowledge and understanding. One love
I'm Somali and I also wish I could understand what she is singing. Lol. I can make out only some of it. Would love it if someone could transcribe the lyrics.
I listened to it for the first time on the movie soundtrack of Emily the criminal. there is something fresh, unique, and beautiful about this song. shoutout to the director and to the amazing Dur-Dur band of Somalia
Somali here & Emily the movie led me to this. I genuinely thought I was the first Somali to connect the music to the film, but I discovered I'm a year late. Somalia Hanoolaato!
@@CGOSHOW00 Vinyl is actually better in audio quality than CD's and MP3's. I think Dur Dur released their tracks on cassette tapes though, which is lower in quality than CD's.
