Good timezone fediverse,
Today's song is The River by Geoffrey Oryema.

I've shared a couple of songs by Oryema before so I'm not sure I have very much more to add apart from go listen to Geoffrey Oryema, he is great :)

Good timezone fediverse,
Today's song is Land of Anaka by Ugandan World and Afro-pop-rock musician Geoffrey Oryema.

Geoffrey was forced into Exile in the 1970’s when his father was murdered by the Amin Regime. He found refuge in France which became his home. In 2017 he returned 40 years after he had left and he spent much of his time trying to broker peace in northern Uganda.
