Taken from the official website:

Homage to Magool is a unique concert that brings together some of the most popular Somali singers to present the music of Somalia’s legendary singer, Magool on the 10th anniversary of her death.

From Magool’s beginnings in Somalia’s most popular band, Waaberi to solo work and self-imposed exile her life and struggles have mirrored those of her compatriots. Her return from exile was celebrated with a sell-out show in the national stadium, still the largest concert in Somali history. The greatest poets wrote for her and even today the biggest stars sing her songs.
