Summary
First compilation of its kind of recordings from Somalia before the civil war. The music was produced in the 1970s and 1980s when Somalia was under a socialist government and had no private record labels or producers. All music was only available through live performances or national radio broadcasts, so this is the first time it's being heard outside the immediate region
