Trending in Uganda

Whiskey - wine ... you decide. What's in your glass tonight?

      This article I chose is about the music festival that took place at the resort in Lake Victoria last year, November. This festival was an event to discover the culture and traditional things of Uganda. There were several bands and musicians who performed in this event. There was Milege Afro-Jazz band which included six members: Manana Francis Birabi(the guitarist), Muhwezi Aricho ( keyboard player), Nakalubo Peter (drummer), and Akugizibwe Gloria (the lead singer). This band’s name was selected from the Japhadola tribe in the East of Uganda. The name symbolizes the king of the tribe. Milege Afro-music band has its own style to perform the beauty of its diverse cultures to the Ugandans. This band is also trying to promote the national unity to the people, since it is failing over the years. The other performers were: The West Nile band who sand different songs in Uganda languages, Joe from the Qwela band singing three songs, the drumming group of seven man named Saba Percussions, and Nawan who performed songs in native languages. Even though this festival didn't have many audiences, it was a great time for those people to discover new talents of Uganda.

      By reading this article, I learned how Ugandans were eager to spread their talents to the people living in Africa. I could see their efforts to work hard to show what specialties they've got. By the list of many bands in Africa, I realized how there were many Africans who loved music and how different ways they used music compared to my own country.

     This article was very entertaining for me. I was curious about how Uganda’s music was like since I was watching the film in my social studies class. It was very interesting of the bands who used music to spread Uganda’s culture. I thought they were very brave and bold to do this. I wouldn't have any bravery if I were one of them. I appreciated the effort of the bands mentioned in this article. They just looked so amazing.

      The article is about people playing music in the concert in the country in Uganda, Africa.  The main ideas is about how people play music in the concert to earn money. It also help people by people donating money to the poor people in Uganda. Even though Uganda people or the government himself didn't earn much money. Still this small portion amount is helping the peoples.

    This article help me more understand more about Africa by explaining to us that some people need money. Some people need help so, and some people is willing to help. I already know this but, this is more information.  

    This article is really interesting because, it show how there are still nice people in Africa who is helping the people who is poorer than him. That is really nice out of them. I really think they're good.
