Given the difficult life in the refugee camp, residents lead a difficult life, \nbut have devised ways of entertainment and expression of their fears, hopes and daily struggles through music. \nThis study analyses the forms of music adopted by the youth in Dadaab. The themes in the music are \ninterrogated as well as the crucial role this music plays in the context of the refugee situation
