Taleex Band Tickets

Taleex Band is a Somali traditional music ensemble renowned for its large, mixed-gender vocal lineup that bridges traditional Somali sounds with contemporary influences. The group emerged from a rich musical context rooted in Mogadishu and Somali diaspora communities, growing into a collective known for expressive harmonies, rhythmic percussion, and an approachable, community-oriented stage presence.

The band traces its roots to 2013–2014, a period marked by experimentation and collaboration within Minnesota’s vibrant Somali music scene. A notable milestone came in late October 2014, when Taleex Band was features in the Doris Duke Foundation–funded Midnimo project at The Cedar Cultural Center, highlighting Somali culture, unity, and cross-cultural exchange. This residency helped propel the group into broader conversations about music as a vehicle for community resilience and cultural preservation.

Beyond studio sessions, Taleex Band has been connected to the two-year Midnimo residency program—conducted in partnership with Augsburg College—an initiative designed to promote Somali culture and unity across Minnesota communities. This collaboration underscored the band’s role not only as performers but as cultural ambassadors within the local and regional arts ecosystem.
