The Rhythm of Somalia is a collection of songs,
games, and stories of the Somali people, as shared by more
than a dozen elementary students and families living in the
metro region of Minnesota where authors Qorsho Hassan and
Becca Buck teach.
Like the other books in the World Music Initiative Series,
this collection provides important historical and cultural
context for each song or game, along with photographs and
illustrations, offering a glimpse into the depth and beauty of
Somali culture and its traditions.
Each selection includes notation, translations, phonetic
pronunciations, and optional ideas for pedagogical extensions.
The book’s companion website also features audio pronunciation
guides, videos of the children sharing their songs and games,
and links to additional online resources.
With themes of family, faith, tradition, and joy, the songs
and games in this resource offer students, teachers, and
parents the opportunity to engage with this beautiful culture
and community in an authentic and culturally responsive way.
Book, 120 pages.
