Somalis heading to Malta to sing for hope

Three music artists are this weekend headed to Malta with a message of hope for fellow Somalis, who make up the largest African community in Malta.

Flown in from the UK, Norway and Sweden, the two singers and DJ will be taking part in the first Somali music festival organised by the local community tomorrow.

“We want to bring Somalis in Malta together, and what better way than through entertainment?

“Many migrants feel demotivated, and it would be nice if they understood there was another side to life.

“Life could be enjoyable, and we are free to enjoy such things now that we are in a free country like Malta,” Ahmed Nuur Ibrahim, who heads the association, said ahead of the event.
