Music from Uganda
Timothy Bata (my friend from Uganda who has offered his invaluable help with music) worked together with two local Ugandan musicians - Balikoowa Herbert and Shaban Kalwaza - to record several traditional pieces for the upcoming Lahash documentary. One of the songs was featured on the new Kibera video.

The photo above is of the three musicians recording in Timothy Bata's studio in Kampala. Shaban is a nationally known artist that currently teaches at Uganda Martyrs University, and Balikoowa is able to tune 90% of African instruments on the pentatonic and diatonic scales! I'm not that involved in music - but it sounds impressive. I've been really grateful for their help in our projects, and am posting another song in its entirety:
