Dur-Dur Band were one of the leaders of Mogadishu�s musical community, fusing elements of traditional Somali music with Western jazz and pop vibes and adding in a dash of Middle "Eastern flava. Established in the early 1980s, Dur-Dur Band pack a lotta punch into their lineup, with four featured vocalists � including the celebrated Sahra Dawo � as well as backing vocalists, plus trumpet, sax, keyboard, congas, drums, bass, and guitars. The reissue of Volume 5 is a moving tribute to the vibrancy of Mogadishu arts and culture before the bad stuff happened.
