Artist Kadir Said
Artist Kadir Said was born in Eastern Oromia, Gara Mulata district at a place called Watar. As a person who was grown in the rural Oromian region where the population practice their original culture, Kadir was raised singing and dancing Oromo traditional songs and dances of that area such as daddaaqsaa, uruursuu, dhiichisaa, hellemaa, faaruu loonii, darashii, mirrisa.
At a young age he says he started withuruursuu, a song which is used to keep babies quiet when they are crying. Kadir says he was inspired by famous singers mainly Ali Birra and others such as Abdi Qophe, Abubakar Musa, Ali Shabbo, and Hessein Adam who at the time were singing from Harar radio station, the only radio station in Afan Oromo which operated for few years during the final years of Haile Sellassie. He started singing with modern musical instruments with Ali Shabbo. More visit www.oromosudies.org SOURCE ( http://qeerroo.org/ )P.O Box 32391, Fridley, MN55432
