Actress-turned-vocalist Saba was born in Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia, during the regime of General Mohamed Siad Barre. Her mother was the daughter of an exiled Somali living in neighboring Ethiopia, and her father was a former Italian military leader who relocated to Somalia from Italy after the Second World War. Due to the family''s mixed-marriage status, the Anglana family was forced to flee to the father''s homeland when Saba was five years old. Anglana was thereafter raised in Italy, eventually rising to national prominence as a television actress. Her Somali roots, however, remained an important focus. She studied the Somali language with her mother, particularly the regional dialect of Xamar Weyne, connecting with her native country through music.
