Somali Pop is a genre of music that originated in Somalia in the late 1980s. It is a fusion of traditional Somali music with influences from other genres such as reggae, hip hop, and R&B. Somali Pop is characterized by its upbeat rhythms, catchy melodies, and often incorporates traditional Somali instruments such as the oud and the kaban. The lyrics of Somali Pop songs often focus on themes of love, peace, and social justice. Somali Pop has become increasingly popular in the Somali diaspora, and is now widely listened to in countries such as the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.
