[Noble Amhara]

The rhymtem and clapping and breathing noise is strangely identical as Amhara in Shewa this might be due to geography do these Somalis live near our region? The dance of Shewa Amhara similar to Shewa Gurage the Somali dance is like the Asian karates

Here is a better version

Very interesting.

We learn something new every day. Thanks for sharing it.

I believe the Horn people are not new to each others but through expansion they drifted apart.

Somalis didn't always settle as far east and south they are today.

They moved down around the 4th century AD probably as Abyssinia adopted Christianity.

We know Somalis were not only in Mogadishu by 9th century (major town) but that they had established settlements as far as present day Mozambique. They founded a coastal town called Soo Fala (Sofala today) meaning "Go Dig" where they had goldmines and bought gold from Zimbabwe too.



Look it up. They were chased out in the 1500s by the Portuguese who went on to colonize Mozambique.

I couldn't find the actual video but this chant is amazing



Somalis are called nation of poets. This is a buranbuur (only ladies)
