Somalia, and even the the Horn in general, does not have a noteworthy musical tradition unlike the rest of Africa. Is it because of Islam or some other reason?
Most Somalis I have known and interacted with have not been interested in music or have been young ghetto immigrants who listen to hip-hop and club music to fit in with other immigrants. Why?
Now that's an interest in european cultures! More somalis and more cowbell please!
