A dance band called Dur-Dur Band ruled the nightclub scene in 1980s Mogadishu, thanks to a unique sound made possible by access to Western culture and instruments. Hear the story, including the group’s exodus from Somalia during the conflict that gripped the country in the early 1990s, and some funktastic tunes from All Things Considered.
