Located in the Horn of Africa, Somalia is the easternmost country on the continent and has its longest coastline, with more than 3,000 km of sandy beaches along the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean. While Somali and Arabic are the country’s official languages, English is also widely taught and spoken throughout the nation. The majority of its population believe in Islam. It’s believed that Somalia was once part of a prosperous region, a central trade point between Egypt and other global civilizations of the time.

Poetry and story narration are among Somalia's rich cultural traditions passed down from generation to generation. Somali did not become a written language until the 20th century. In previous centuries, history, philosophy, politics, and all other matters of importance were passed down orally through poetry and stories.

One of Somalia's most gifted poets and scholars is Mohamed Ibrahim Warsame. He is known as "Hadraawi" which means "master or father of speech." A prolific writer, Hadraawi composed over 200 epic poems and 70 lyric songs in his lifetime, many of which were set to music and widely popular among the Somalians. Next, we’ll share with you an excerpt from “Settling the Somali Language” written by Hadraawi, commemorating the adoption of an official script for Somali in 1972.

In 2021, with support from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), an important cultural initiative was born — Hoyga Maansada Soomaaliyeed or The Home of Somali Poetry. This platform has been a tool for peace and unites Somalis through their shared literary culture. In addition, Somalis have a chance to share their voices by submitting their work for the annual Somali Poetry Awards. There are categories recognizing women and youth to ensure inclusivity and provide opportunities for minority groups.

Women artists are increasingly recognized for their incredible talent and contribution to Somali culture. Among the most famous instruments used in Somalian music are the kaban and the shareero, which are played against backdrops of beautiful choruses, metal and wooden clappers, shunuufs, also known as ankle rattles, and small drums.
