Golden age of Somali pop music

An album of Somali music released this year draws on thousands of 1970s and 1980s recordings that are held in a Somaliland archive. The 15 tracks selected for the album showcase what has been called a golden age for Somali pop music. To hear more about the music on 'Sweet as Broken Dates : Lost Somali Tapes from the Horn of Africa', you can listen to RFI's World Music Matters. (bit.ly/2B1O5sn). We asked the man behind the album, Vik Sohonie, where exactly the recordings on the album came from.
