Restoring the arts

After decades of trauma, Somalia is now going through a process of cultural and political healing.

Under a national recovery plan, the National Theatre is being rebuilt, having been destroyed during the conflict and a restoration of the arts is under way.

Funk, pop and reggae may not be musical genres that people associate with Somali music.

For Somalis today, the golden age is not the thing of the past but a symbol of hope for the future.
