}}Abdi Sinimo ({{lang-so|Cabdi Siniimoo}}, {{lang-ar|سنيمو}}) (born 1920, died 1967)[1] was a Somali singer, songwriter, poet and musical innovator. He is noted for having established the balwo genre of Somali music, which was the forerunner of the Heello genre and thus gave birth to modern Somali music.[2][3]

Biography

Sinimo was born in the 1920s in Jaarahorato, an historical village situated {{convert|25|mi}} north-east of the present Borama, Somalia. He hailed from the Reer Nuur clan. He was the fourth son in a family of 18 children, consisting of nine boys and nine girls. Even though born in Borama district at that time, he spent most of his life in Djibouti working for the Djibouti Port Authority as a driver of a transshipment truck from Djibouti city to Addis Ababa, via Dire Dawa.[4]

The first band Sinimo created was in Borama during 1944 when he retired from driving and went into music full-time.it was called Balwo.[4] Members of his band were:

  • Abdi Deqsi Warfa (Abdi Sinimo)
  • Kobali Ashad
  • Hussen Are Mead
  • Hashi Warsame
  • Khadija Eye Dharar (Khadija Balwo)
  • Nuriya Atiq

Below is a sample from a poem by Abdi Sinimo which he first hummed while repairing a broken truck in 1943. This came to start the Balwo-genre and Northern Somali song tradition.[4]
