    In 2025, a cultural revival is sweeping across Somalia—and it’s being led by Gen Z.

    From Mogadishu to Minneapolis, young Somalis are blending tradition with modernity, creating a powerful movement that’s putting Somali heritage back in the spotlight.

    Dhaanto: A Somali Heritage that Goes Digital

    Somalia’s traditional folk dance, Dhaanto, has found new life on TikTok and Instagram Reels.

    Young creators are remixing old rhythms with Afrobeats and trap, turning ceremonial moves into viral dance trends.

    Hashtags like #DhaantoChallenge are gaining millions of views, helping Somali youth reconnect with their roots through rhythm.

    “It’s not just a dance. It’s who we are,” says 19-year-old Zeynab Ali, a dancer from Hargeisa.

    Fashion with a Story

    Somali Gen Z fashion designers are reimagining traditional clothing like the guntiino (a draped women’s garment) and macawiis (a male wrap) into urban streetwear.

    Brands like Waaq Styles and Hooyo Threads are using Somali fabrics and embroidery in denim jackets, hijabs, and even sneakers.

    “My goal is to make Somali clothes global, without losing our identity,” says Yusuf Adan, a 23-year-old designer based in Garowe.

    Poetry and Spoken Word

    Oral tradition is a cornerstone of Somali identity, and Gen Z poets are breathing new life into it.
    Events like “Geeraar Nights” in Mogadishu and Nairobi showcase spoken word performances that mix classic Somali verse with social commentary on gender, identity, and diaspora struggles.

    Food Meets Content Creation

    Young Somali food bloggers and chefs are turning dishes like canjeero, bariis iskukaris, and suqaar into Instagram-worthy content.

    They post traditional recipes with modern plating and add personal stories, making the cuisine both nostalgic and trend-forward.

    Diaspora Connect

    This cultural renaissance isn’t limited to Somalia.

    Young Somalis in the U.S., Canada, the U.K., and the Gulf are using platforms like YouTube and Clubhouse to host conversations on Somali heritage, feminism, language revival, and clan dynamics—with a focus on unity and progress.

    Somali Gen Z isn’t just preserving Somali heritage—they’re evolving it.

    Through fashion, music, food, and poetry, they are reclaiming identity on their own terms.
    It’s no longer just about remembering the past—it’s about owning the future, culturally rooted and creatively free.
