Aar Maanta
British/Somali singer, composer, and community worker Aar Maanta was originally scheduled to perform at the 2011 Global Roots Festival, but visa problems prevented him from attending. It gives us great pleasure to be able to present Aar Maanta in this rescheduled concert. His music incorporates elements from pop, rock, hip hop, RnB, house incorporated onto a solid foundation of traditional Somali music.

Aar Maanta moved from his native Somalia to the United Kingdom in the late 1980s due to the civil war there. As a lone child in a new country, he turned to music for comfort, absorbing many genres including pop, rock, hip hop, R&B and house.Aar Maanta...
