Hudeydi Tribute

Ahmed Ismail Hussein ‘Hudeydi’ 1932-2020 – one of the greatest Somali musicians of all time; known internationally as The King of Oud. Born in Berbera, Hudeydi spent his childhood and teenage years in Aden, Yemen, before returning to Somaliland as a young adult where he changed the face of Somali music forever. Throughout the late 50's & 60's, he became a key figure, as a composer and musician, alongside his peers, during the anticolonial movement and decolonisation period. In short, his music embodied the sound of the long struggle to freedom and independence. In the 70’s and 80’s when Somali music was at the height of its success, Hudeydi’s popularity and musical reach grew and went beyond Somalia and the Somali region as he began to tour internationally and was given the nickname of 'Hudeydi' as well as ‘The King of Oud’. He was one of the founding fathers of modern Somali music. Hudeydi moved to London in the early 90’s during the civil war outbreak and his home in London was a cultural and artistic hub for artists and young music lovers to come together and learn from the master himself; he offered oud lessons to young people and it was a place for his peers and colleagues to meet, reminisce on the golden past and make new connections. Kayd is proud to have grown amongst this rich cultural and artistic hub that Hudeydi’s presence provided. His iconic legacy lives on through his music and in the memories of all those of us who adored him and continue to do so. He is survived by his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. May Allah have mercy on him and grant him Jannah. ...
