Nima Djama was born in 1948 in Ali Sabieh, situated in the southern of Djibouti. She came from a nomadic family from the Issa sub-clan of the Somali. She started singing in 1969 at the age of 21. Djama sang in protest against the French administration refusing to give a fair referendum for her country to become an independent nation. There was vote rigging in the referendum of 1967. After that song (called "Gabdhayahow"), she became popular across the country. She then joined the cultural troupe as a Somali singer[2] Now she lives in Ottawa, Canada.
