K'NAAN The Sound Of Happiness

This is a recommendation of K'NAAN.

K'NAAN was born in Mogadishu simultaneously as the civil unrest broke out in Somalia. He spent his childhood trying to survive and listening to hip hop records that his father sent him that was living in America. At the age of thirteen the family were able to escape Somalia to live with their relatives in Harlem only to soon move again. This time to Rexdale where many Somalians were situated. When he had learned enough english he began rapping and he was soon to be found by producers that could fulfill K'NAANS wishes. To tell the story of his life and about Somalia. 

Now the Somalian has a special place in many peoples hearts and that includes mine. I thank Creative Blog for posting a video with K'NAAN – Take A Minute as background music.
