Cherrie: The Scandinavian RnB star with Somali roots - BBC Africa
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 сен 2024
- As part of a new four-part series called Diaspora Diaries, RnB and hip hop artist Cherrie talks about her success and her struggle to find identity as a black woman in Scandinavia.
Cherrie was born in Norway to Somali parents and raised in Sweden. However, she attributes the success of her hip hop career to the Somali diaspora across Europe.
Daniel Henry caught up with her during September's general election in Sweden - where an anti-immigration party was vying to make large gains.

We are not same black if I tell you the truth we are not a same culture l have been friend some West African so I found out big different culture example they eat fou fou smel bad food I don t my food smell good we are afro asien Somalia Djibouti ereterea ethopia are same people
I'm Ethiopian and I'm literally tearing up when they were talking about the sadness that immigrant parents have because they want to go back to their country. It makes me sad to see fellow Horners like Somalis and Eritreans having to leave their homes 😢💗
Even eithopian
I feel the same bro ❤️ we have to love each other and help each other
What about hundreds thousands of Ethiopians
Home is where you get recognition not where your roots are.

BBC canceled the moms interview when she mentioned religion 😂😂 like if you noticed that part
Yes They dont want to spread how she disappointed her beloved daughter took that way she didn't liked it
I am African American and I can relate to you on many levels. I think Somalians, Eritreans, and Ethiopians are the most beautiful people in the world 💚❤️💛
I have to be proud of my African origins ! She is a beautiful Somali woman !
I literally see you everywhere 😭

@Lukaku's First Touch Ur weird
@@asilylmaz2833 Wat triestig, wat je hier zegt als Turkse Nederlander is echt bijzonder idotische. Je zichzelf, als product van immigratie moet jij wel weten dat je ouders ooit dezelfde gedaan hebben om jij een betere leven te geven. En hier sta je stoer te doen op YT comments. Denk effe goed na voor je zoiets stoms gaat typen!

Wish they could do it big in their own country...

dastan rashid wtf u mean dirty Somali? U a very ignorant person, who her parents are doesn’t define her as a human being 💯
Not norwegian singer with somali roots, but a SWEDISH singer with somali roots!!

True
BBC Incompetent
They mentioned she was in norway first, then finland and lastly Sweden. Thus calling her norwegian.
But yes, she is swedish citizen so: Swedish.
Somali women are among the top 5 most beautiful looking women on the planet. ❤️🔥😎👍🏽
That's true

Stop creating rasism between Africans we're all the same Blacks and it doesn't matter how we look, her Somali beauty is an African beauty
@@Ilu23 somalis are black are you color blind
@@Ilu23 Black is a color not a brand. Slavery has nothing to do with that. If u have said nigger or negro i could understand most african dont like that term. U need to curse less and read more.
Qurux Qurux I’m half Somali and somalis are black. Look at your skin colour and tell me you aren’t black? Somalia is in east Africa and everyone in Africa (except north) is black. I’m tired of somalis not accepting that they are black just because we are from the east and didn’t get into slavery. Your point is very invalid it’s just like saying someone from Russia isn’t white because they’re on the other side of Europe from England and France
@@amayafernandez-hussein6289 really🔥
Preach my African Queen!!!! I am fed up with black on black racism....and now a new phenomenon "colourism" ....Colonialism did a number on our oneness!
You're SomaSwede! 😁 😁 I mean you're doing it in Sweden but you still carry Somalia in your heart. Don't forget your African Culture. Remember you've got your African Identity and no one can take that away from you. Keep it up sis, I'm a great fan.
🎯🎯
Yh that's true but I think she is not Somalia
Lil Osman how is she not somali are you blind
She's Somali & that's it there's no such thing as somaswede (Somali being an ethnicity & Swede also being an ethnicity).
Also wtf is an African culture?? Can a whole continent of different races & tribes share 1 culture.
Delusional I tell ya!
She's only Somali.
@@qoriiismaris7462 What different races ?
She is 100% Somali. So I don't understand the title.
I think the title is trying to convey that she is Somali by ethnic but Swedish by culture. This is the life of many diaspora youth. They are stuck between two worlds. I am sure you also can relate to that.
she is full somali but they mean in terms of identity, when she goes somalia she would sort of be considered an outsider there as well since she wasn't born or raised there

@lobsterbale LegesseLet me guess you're an aids infested habesha mutt dinkaqala with grandiose delusions? Right. Do they fake in your head cause being habesha or AA is so great? Lmaoo I am sorry to tell you this but selfhate don't even exist in the Somali dictionary. Don't beg no Somali sane or crazy ever fake to be a habesha or something else that they are not. Fyi there is a Somali regional state in Ethiopia and 8millions somalis exist there and are Ethiopian nationals hence why the reason Some somalis say they're ethiopians nationality wise but ethnically are Somali. And Cherry is a proud somali who knows where she comes from. The girl is 💯 Somali but born and raised in Scandinavia. Everyone knows that ..
I was mesmerize by her Beauty i am Not even sure what was she talking about........somali girls!!!!! Black and pretty
Exactly...same as you.
I love your honesty. I love your uniqueness as a Somali woman. May Allah guide you to the straight path. Amen.
she is simply bollshit, we never accept such people & habiba kahin one of them guys you lost, never have in place our society we are pure Muslim period???

May Allah swt give us all guidance.
Aameen
Islam is not a good religion though
she is simply bollshit, we never accept such people, she lost, never have in place our society we are pure Muslim period, we are Somalis we have our own Culture& religion this is not our way, she is spreading unexpected culture to the young people
@palestine qudus My mother is your grandmother
lobsterbale Legesse imbecile speak for your self iblis
Not only Cherie there are a lot of Somali kids who are having difficult of connecting to the countries they were born in and to the country their parents came from (Somalia) which they have never seen and it is reality we can't ignore. These kids get lost in between two different cultures.
Zaki Abdullah there is no reason to get lost. She is Somali born raise in Sweden what is there to get confused.
@@saasmiyaa2589 for example i was born in the uk and went to Somalia in 2014 for the first time for a holiday. everytime i went outside the people would call me the quurba joog girl or like the one that came from the uk and didn't treat me as if i was somali myself . i was only 14 so i was so confused when they were making it seem as if i was an outsider when i am also somali too
asya I was born Somalia but grew in Minneapolis. I remember when I was a kid if some kid from dibad came to Somalia all people wanted to see are how they behave how their Somali is to be honest most kids were there for dhaqan cilin their Somali sucked or they didn’t speak Somali at all and it’s not the kids fault it’s parents fault that their kids didn’t speak Somali so what I wanna say is people looking at you differently because you claiming to be Somali at the same time you are not acting like somali or you don’t know your uncles or aunts where is your cousin who was born Somalia knows their moms firs second third and forth cousin.
If you are open minded and lived or living in western country you may understand the point. Leave of Somalia, these kids having trouble of connecting to their parents in daily lives because of the evironmental presure and the cultural influence they experience daily.
Zaki Abdullah they are just looking something that doesn’t need to be searched you are what you are you don’t no one else to tell you who and what you are and by the way define open minded because as far as I know being open minded let you to hell
I have had the pleasure to host Cherrie and the Third Culture Kids workshop and performance. Cherrie is a generous, kind, smart, talented and caring person. All power to her!
This is probably the most beautiful (in looks and talks) human being the BBC has ever aired.
I like it when she said "it was definitely the Somali diaspora that helped that happened"
Keep going dear sister
I get goosebumps every time I watch this. Cherrie is so talented. She is going to be big. ⭐️
Coming from Ethiopia, congratulations for your success in music. Keep it up, my sister.
People usually confuse ethnicity with nationality and this lady is 💯 somali. Most people choose ethnicity over nationality cause it’s what define you at the end of the day.
Moedi Berry Libaan. Yes agreed!
The best comment on here! You can't change your ethnicity but you can change your nationality!
mplsridah true!
EXCACTLY
Most of the somali women are so beautiful
She's so pretty and driven. Her mom is so young looking. I love how the guy put it. "If you do something do it the best." Racism is rampant around the world. It's a shame & disgrace that people hate us because of our skin color somethingthat we can't change.
A Somali Queen 👑
🤤
I'M proud to see my people Somalia ❤️🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴
Awww she's so beautiful! I'm so proud of her 😍😍
I am a somalian Scandinavian myself a mother to six children, as a mother truly proud of her, do not listen to all the b's from any side you look guess what keep on moving forward and be kind.

You should chase your dreams instead of putting your life on hold walaal. You dont want to look back in anger and regret in old age
oh my God, These Somali n Ethiopian girls are very beautiful with natural n unique colors.
Thank you as somali women we are beautiful but nowadays our beauty and our culture are disappearing because of arabs. Arabs are hijacked our culture. Today Somali women are wearing arab dresses. We are brainwashed by Arab culture. I feel sad my somali culture is disappearing
Thanks I'm from Ethiopia

I m from somalia keep going sister
How came Swedish know how to speak perfect english? better then how some people in uk speak.
Because in Scandinavia second language is English.
ALFIE A she was raced in us actually and came to Sweden later in her youth at teenage years so her English were better than anyone else but what’s magnifique is that she learned Swedish that fast even though just been here for not that long of time and most of the time in uk
Because we learn to speak English early, and then we use it all the time.
Old Swedes don't speak great English though... 5:14-5:22 5:34-5:40
It is us somalis we a oral people and learning a new language is easier for us is speak somali Dutch English fluent and Swedish and Norwegian I speak to even though not fluent
@@husseomg1494 She was born in Norway, and raised in Finland to the age of 10, and then raised in Sweden. Where did you get that she was raised in the UK from?
go ahead sister don't care whow insult you we love anyway👑

Despite all the challenges Somalis have had in the past 30 years and so, (Alshabab, Pirates, dourghts and starvations, mass immigrations and civil wars), they seem doing an outstandingly great on Music, arts, schools and generally rebuilding their country. Let's give a round of applauds to this unique and hardworking race. 👏 They're the most beautiful people on the planet.

I notice a lot of Swedish people have studied and perfected the art of imitating American accents even though many have not even set foot in North America
You're right, even though I live in America, her accent is better than mine.
Ver Sace most of Europeans Just want be North Americans... I guess you can’t blame them, there is nothing in europe
We’re often taught english since we’re about 6-8 years old. Most people speak with a mix btw British and American english. Sometimes people have American accents because most TV-shows, music, youtube videos etc. that they watch are American. It’s not really about where you’ve traveled or lived. It’s not like we’ve lived in England either🤷🏻♀️ I think most teachers nowadays speak American english too
