Geoffrey Oryema - The River

[@OJ_77]

The dad of Geofrey Oryema was called Eronayo Oryema, he was the first Inspector General of Police in a post independence Uganda. He was murdered by dictator Idi Amin. My dad was his driver. That is how he ended up in exile in the1970s in France where he lived until his death.

Hauntingly soothing and beautiful song. Reminds me some of the Moody Blues and Paul Simon.

[@DigitEyezInc]

+Matias Romero Thank you SO MUCH for that translation. Ever I since I heard this song YEARS ago, I searched and searched for the translation! Can you tell me how it is you know that phrase? I'm not challenging your integrity, mind you...not at all! I'm genuinely curious how you know that phrase.

[@ocircoaoredordomundo]

+DigitEyezInc The translation is part of the liner notes of his album Beat The Border, within the the lyric of the song.

[@phillgizmo8934]

Analogysing with siddharta's "enlightenment" by floating thru the current of a river (being riven), the fractality of consiuous intentions is what prooves our mind being polycapable attractive. Any size of a particle is conducted by the conditions of the current and any may start coconduct itself if not against the purpose of renewal/refreshment. "Enlightment" should be called ennvibement or entunement, because there is no light or weight viable, but ....

TRISTE, SAD...il nous a quitté

[@feta1990]

what does "Nafikiliya Koruba Shamba" mean?

[@kazunguzungu]

Nafikiria kurudi shamba means literally "I feel like going back home". Shamba : my place, my birthplace, in this case, the village. But let's put it like "I feel homesick", or "I miss my homeland". Typical suffering from exile.

[@nikolassodiant2595]

Paix a ton ame mon ami Geoffrey

[@ginglyjoe2659]

So very talented. I think he did some work with Gabriel.

[@EddieKat]

Does anyone else think it sounds a lot like Pink Floyd towards the end? Every time I listen to it I can't help but think that sounds exactly a Pink Floyd song.

[@fernandoabdala281]

Katrina Li yes. another brick in the wall.part one. the delay effect in the guitar is very gilmour like.

[@sandfordmerlin]

We have one person who is so obviously musically brain dead :-( Awesome Magical track :-)

[@235068]

Definately added to my list of erotic sounds, such a beatiful voice and sensual rythym

[@dyingsun23]
