omali - Canadian international vocalist, whose Waving flag was chosen to be FIFA’s 2010 world cup official song in South Africa, has the furthermost opportunity to have sole characteristics in compilation of being poet, rapper, musician and singer. Having this unprecedented uniqueness, K’naan is a rising African-Canadian star who has got absolute talents of an intercontinental singer should have in order to charm billions of people across the world, inspiring the old and the young with a love of modern music sense toughing the hearts of the people whatever culture, faith, origin and character they have. Born in Mogadishu, Somalia, K'naan Abdi Warsame Haji Mohammed spent his first 13 years of childhood in Wardhigley district in Somalia’s capital, Mogadishu and lived there when the Somali Civil War was about to erupt in earlier 1991. K’naan’s maternal and paternal families are famous in Somalia for artiste. His maternal aunt, late Halima Khalif Omar Magol, was one of Somalia's most celebrated singers in the history of Somalia. K'naan's grandfather, Haji Mohamed, was a well-known poet. He is a moderate Muslim, and his name, K’naan, means "Accelerator" in the Somali language. He spent the early years of his life in country of origin avoiding death related violence but used to listen to the hip-hop records sent to him from America by his father, who had left Somalia earlier. K’naan has so far produced three fascinating albums like 1. My life is a movie in 2004 2. The dusty foot philosopher in 2005 and his latest and most loving album known as troubadour. Since the Somali- Canadian superstar has initially emerged in his career with God’s artist endowment and innate ability in his performance, International company,COCA COLA, felt that k’naan could be a massive source of income and deserved to be supported in many ways to outshine in the world’s music in an attempt to brace himself for 2010 world cup opening official song in south Africa regarding his being descendent of African to march with the Continent’s first ever time hosting of world cup. COCACOLA was the greatest backer of his troubadour album in which a song of waving flag was chosen and recognized to be FIFA 2010 world cup official song in South Africa. K’naan had gone into severe race with some of the world’s international singers who were desirous to culminate in the colorful appearance of the 2010 world cup in South Africa. In thirty-three day’s time, K’naan, singing his waving flag at centre spot of the pitch in Cape Town stadium in South Africa, will be televised by more than 150 international channels and at least two billion people will have a chance watch him on the screens. In the end, Somali people, however they are wildly scattered across the world and whatever suffer they have, are very, very proud of him to be Somali!!!!!!
