Fanka Soomaalida: An Evening of Somali Songs

May 11 @ 5:00 pm - 8:30 pm

Free

Somali percussionist Harbi Mohamed Kahiye and the St. Olaf Somali Music Ensemble will present a concert of Somali songs from the 1960s-1980s that reflect the beauty of Somali poetry and artistic expression. The students of the spring 2024 course “Somali Community Engagement through Music” have contributed research to a website www.somalisongs.org featuring information about the songs to be performed on the concert, which audiences can explore through a “website scavenger hunt bingo challenge” with prizes starting at 5:00pm, and the concert will begin at 7:00pm.
