His song "Waving Flag" was made the World Cup anthem, but most Somalians don't even know about K'naan and some of the ones who do think hes crazy. That's no surprise when you think of the influence the Islamist rebels have over there, and the consequences that can happen if your caught entertaining yourself with any means of media. Those damn western infidels and there entertainment! Therefore The Mog doesn't vibe to the freedom sounds. These people gave quotes:
I heard about a Somali man being selected to sing in the World Cup, but I have no idea about that guy and I have never seen him," said Hasan Adan, a Mogadishu teenager.
"I'm really a big fan of great K'naan. I have watched him on the Internet and his song for the World Cup is also so good, but I'm disappointed that I cannot freely watch his songs here in Mogadishu," said Fadumo Moalim Hasan.
"I have the anthem downloaded into my mobile and I can secretly watch it. But if the Shebab guys find me with this song in my cell phone I could face punishment," she said, referring to the Al Qaeda-linked group.
Damn... no wonder these people are mad... living in a hot desert, sand everywhere and no way to entertain yourself, shit i'd be mad too... religion is a sad thing to devote your life to.
"Who understands English in this country. I think a singer who sings in English has no market in this country and that is why few know about K'naan," said Mohamed Ilkase, a Mogadishu resident.
"I watched one of his songs and I can say he is crazy if he believes he could be listened to in Mogadishu," he added.
...Ya'll need to switch to K-OS
