  Also speaking at the event was Dr. Martin Orwin, Professor of Somali and Amharic studies at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) in London. Speaking in Somali much to the delight of the audience, Dr. Orwin highlighted how astounding Somali oral literature is in comparison to written literature of particularly his home-country—Britain. Dr. Orwin urged all Somalis to preserve this very important tradition for future generations.

  The festival which brought together some of the best Somali poets and the young Somalis in the Diaspora was facilitated by the patient Martin Orwin, a professor of Linguistics at SOAS who has not only published works by one of the poets into a book but who has translated some of the poetry into English thus helped the young Somalis in Britain appreciate their culture for the first time. Dr Orwin sat patiently in all events, sometimes as the only foreigner present to allow the young Somalis in the Diaspora enjoy and appreciate the beauty of their culture.
  
  His interest in Somali poetry was truly the highlight of the festival in more ways than one. He has not only facilitated the interaction between several generations of Somalis but he has given hope to the poets whose works have been, until now, kept fragmentary in tapes. He has already published a book of poetry by Garriye, and while translating that and Hadraawi's into English is also collecting the works of Hasan Ganay and Abdi Qeys. If he succeeds, the poetry of Hasan Ganay and Abdi Qeys (two well loved Somali poets) will be committed into print for the first time. That their works will be universalized by Dr. Orwin's translation has allowed these prominent poets relish the opportunity of encountering more audience than Somalis alone.
  
  As one of the poets said, 'he was born Somali but speaks the universal language of poetry admired by humanity therefore he is a citizen of the world.' Besides poetry there were plays based on modern issues, and Somali melodies sung by much loved Somali singers.

  Professor Orwin is one of my students! As you can see, these two ouds in front of you accompany me wherever I go. This one next to you is always by my sideâ€"it is my qardhaas (amulet)! Your readers might be interested to note that I composed, in 2005, a piece that addresses the well-being of the whole earth, not just Somalia. Among the positive effects of an otherwise sorrowful diasporic experience is the potential to see oneself as not only a member of a new society (in my case, British) but, simultaneously, a citizen of the world. The piece is called Dhulka (Earth). It was translated by Professor Orwin.
