The world of Somali music mourns the loss of a true icon as Ahmed Naji Sa’ad, a prominent figure in Somali music, breathed his last this evening in London.

The news of his passing was confirmed by his son, Yahye Ahmed-Naji. As the Somali community reels from the loss of this legendary artist, tributes and condolences pour in from across the globe, celebrating Naji’s profound contributions to Somali theatre, music, and literature.

Born in 1939 in the vibrant Shibis district of Mogadishu, then known as Bilaajo Arab, Ahmed Naji’s artistic journey began in the heart of Somalia’s rich cultural heritage.

From a young age, he displayed a remarkable talent for music, captivating audiences with his soulful melodies and poetic lyrics.

His passion and dedication to his craft set the stage for a remarkable career that would shape the landscape of Somali music.

With the collapse of the Somali state, Naji sought refuge in London, where he established himself as a cultural ambassador for his homeland. While he rarely returned to Somalia, his deep connection to his roots remained evident in his music. His last visit to his native country was in 2011, where he left an indelible impression on both the old and the young, inspiring a new generation of artists.

Ahmed Naji’s musical genius first caught the attention of the Somali public in 1962 when his melodious tunes resonated through the airwaves of Radio Mogadishu. One of his notable songs, a Banaadiri track titled “Wuu Ahaaday Adduunka,” captivated listeners with its poignant lyrics and enchanting melodies. From that moment on, Naji became a household name, his music touching the hearts of millions.

His presence on Radio Mogadishu became a weekly affair, as he graced the program “Lugo-baxsi” every Sunday. This platform provided a competitive setting for artists to showcase their talents, and Naji’s performances were met with awe and admiration.

His ability to seamlessly blend traditional Somali rhythms with contemporary elements distinguished him as a trailblazer, pushing the boundaries of Somali music and elevating it to new heights.

Beyond his musical prowess, Ahmed Naji Sa’ad was a visionary who recognized the power of storytelling. He believed in the transformative impact of literature and used his platform to champion Somali literature, inspiring a new generation of writers. His contributions to the literary world were equally significant, as he penned numerous poems and short stories that captured the essence of Somali culture and tradition.

As news of Ahmed Naji’s passing reverberates throughout the Somali diaspora, the void left by his departure is immeasurable.
