Unbelievable package here from Ostinato Records, diving deep into the cultural archives of Radio Hargeisa. Learning of an imminent air strike, some of the researchers and journalists at Hargeisa began to bury thousands of cassette tapes underground in order to ensure they survived the attack. This was back in the 1980s. Recently uncovered, these important works from Somalian musicians are given a new life through this fantastic double LP. Listen to ‘Haddii Hoobalkii Gabay’ or ‘Buuraha U Dheer’ and tell us your jaw didn’t drop! Super catchy melodies, playful synth work and wild, emotion filled vocals for days.
