Lukeme Orchestra - Wipolo

[@peterkosgey5029]

I lived in uganda and had my early education in soroti uganda. There used to be competitions in traditional music the iteso ,langis and the kumam and all along I had the impression that the iteso produced better music but after listening to the lukembe Acholi music i now think otherwise the guys are just fantastic somebody should help market their music great talent kosgey peter sawe kenya

[@Allan-Oryx-42]

Have heard lots of lukeme but this fellows have taken it to another level such talent are exceptional. apwoyo matek pii we man

[@Justin-s6t3w]

Am proud to be an Acholi. I love these boys. May Almighty God bless them.

[@obitajustin5673]

Whenever i listen to this song, tears roll down my cheeks....... the suffering, the humiliation we went through is unimaginable... sadly I was born around the time the war started ,i was in the thick of it throughout my teens

[@dukesax]

This is so pure, natural and divine! Absolutely transcendent. It is the essence of all that is the spirit of music. I love these guys.

[@dlabeja]

Despite the melanchonic tone and hopelessness expressed in this song, the community still has hope in God's intervention in ending the suffering they endured in the squalid conditions of the IDP Camps. The portrayal of school children in the video is a sign of hope for the future generation. Nostalgia for the good old days also mean the community still hopes for a better futer. Oh God, I love this song! I love Acholi!

[@diirestraits4881]

The pain and suffering my people have had to go through for close to three decades is some how relieved with such beautiful,albeit sad beats. Talk about resilience.Love my people without shame.

[@judiangeorgewani1688]

Well playing likembe and latong alive ,keep it up ,remembering remembering late 70s and 80s .great team ❤

[@coorom9785]

The concept of rhythm and dance is not easy to bring out but Acholi's for million of years have it in blood and have effectively used all instruments effectively to compose musics and dances and this has been very vivid in her people's courage, talent and economy. To be in the middle of a war is not weakness but evidence of superiority, strength and civilization.

[@laguthomas5159]

Many thanks for this group who managed to keep culture, which is unforgettable song and sensitive traditional orchestra. Boys, keep up.

[@abolabosco1403]

Great traditional instruments, we need to preserve them. These guys are very talented and they need to be paid to perform in function. We need to create traditional music training school and museum to keep our African beautiful, great traditional music a live for generations and tourists attractions. This will create jobs for youths

[@walteroceng2192]

I have just come across this classic Lukeme things and brought to live some superb memories. I like the energy they put in and the humility in their ton of voices, sense of togetherness and plea to God for help. well done my brothers.

[@justinelabeja5051]

Beautiful traditional song from Acoli land in Uganda

[@deepwaterwelldrillersltd5637]

Is there a way of organizing a show by this group of talented people? A show that would expose this talent?

[@alumaisisto6953]

I love the cultural and historical music, its is the unity of our African people and that is why we love our motherland. An outsider cann't understand why African always talk about their villages but Globalization is a big threat this powerful culture.

[@patrickloturi6172]

Listen to those melodies! Sweetest music ever.

[@johnakena2760]

I play it and I like it lukeme is one of best way to be together

[@jamesbita5666]

That is Paimol, they played in a place call Wii Polo, just near were the two martyrs died, Jida Irwa and Okello

[@johannesfilm83]

Exactly. Where the musicians play is right behind the old church that is there. When we explained that we are interessted in Acholi music and that we wanted to record some lukeme orchestras, we were given permission to spend the night there. The news that two white men wantet to record Acholi music spreaded rapidly and early on the next morning many groups from all around the area came to perform their songs. I think that using the lukeme music to express problemes, social issues but also love and everything that matters is a great and very artistic way of participation in society and dealing with history. Besids I will never forget the great hospitality we experienced there. People from this part of Uganda are so sincere and authentic.

[@okenysecondo6303]

James you made it easy for me to understand the meaning of the title, thank you

[@wodsudan7838]
