Who is K’naan?

I first heard this guy on a Damian Marley track. K’naan means “traveller” in Somali. Kanaan Warsame is a Somalian-Canadian poet/musician. He was born in Mogadishu in 1978 and spent most of his childhood in Wardiigleey (“The Lake of Blood”) during the Somali Civil War (which began in 1991). His homeland is referenced a lot in his lyrics and call for an end to the violence. He’s a great artist and speaks the truth in his own distinct way.
