Sahra Halgan

Sahra Halgan is an iconic artist from Somaliland. In the 1980s, during the war in reaction to the terrible repression of Siad Barré, the dictator of neighbouring Somalia, she earned her nickname “Halgan”, the fighter, and her songs won the hearts of an entire people forever. An improvised nurse at the front, defying tribal and family conventions, she sang to heal the wounded and encourage the fighters.

Presented by Woodburner.

This is an 18+ event.
