about

A guitar player by trade, Omar Bongo spent his youth playing funk and reggae in the nightclubs of Mogadishu. It was on his move to Toronto, Canada in the late 1990’s that he was drawn to the sounds of the kaban(the Somali word for the Arabic oud).

In the hands of Omar Bongo the kaban has been bringing qaarami music to life for almost 20 years in shisha bars and community events in Toronto’s Somali community. While many of the classically trained stars of qaarami music were known for their light touch, soft voices and playful rhythmic variations — a style more suited for quiet concert halls — Omar’s playing, perhaps influenced by his training as a guitarist, has a percussive driving style - a more direct sound suited for the shisha bars and late night social events where he performs.
