Somali funk legends Dur Dur Band are joined by some very special guests and perform alongside the next generation of Somali singer/songwriters making waves internationally. In the mid-1980s Mogadishu was the epicentre of Somalia’s golden age of music. Dur Dur Band was one of the most well-known acts on the Mogadishu disco & funk scene.
One of the few remaining bands of this era, Dur Dur Band International is the UK regrouping of many of the original founding members.
At this special show Dur Dur Band will be joined by an exciting guest line-up, bringing together a new generation of singer/songwriters with some absolute legends – for an international coming together of heavyweight Somali musicians including Fadumina, Najma Nashad, Abdi Hani Hashi, Habib Sharabi, and Farhia Fiska.
Dur Dur Band will be playing their classic hits, including releases on Analog Africa and Awesome Tapes From Africa, whilst experimenting with new sound textures and analogue synths. Somali Arts Foundation will provide visuals.
