I'm a Cameroonian 🇨🇲, I heard this song from my South Sudanese classmate, immediately I got back to my room I decided to play it though I didn't understand the language, but from the subtitles, the message is so enriching. Africa is Blessed
I'm a Ghanaian watching from the USA. I love this song so much. I attended a graduation party for my Sudanese friend's daughter in the USA and they played this song. I didn't understand the song but the song entered me like spirit. Now I understand the song. It's a powerful song.
I am Zambian, but hey this song has a tune that is appealing for me to repeat it. I am proud to be African and happy that this song was uploaded with subtitles in English.
I’m A Jamaica and African American. I love Luo / Acholi and the proud people Equatoria, Equatorians are people in South Sudan. I can’t wait to see an independence Equatoria. They were once and the same tribes in both countries
Your comment is very sad, how can you call for more division of Africa? Africa is doing it best to unite. I am a South Sudanese, lived my first 6 years in Equatoria even though I was born in Ethiopia due to civil war, however my parents are from Upper Nile. Do your research, equatoria is not a tribe, and most tribes in that region aren’t all related, it’s just a region.
The 1st time I ever heard of this song, was 3 weeks ago at my mum's funeral. The emotion in the voice of the singer , got me on my knees crying my heart out and the beat fed my spirit with hope and strength. I got up on my feet dancing and crying simultaneously. I didn't know the meaning of the song until today from the video. I have been searching for this song and I'm glad to find it today once again. I was willing to get on a plane back to the village to find the song. It has a special place in my heart. Goes to show, great music has no language barrier. Rest in power my queen until we meet again. I miss you every day but this song acts as our connection and will keep me strong as I heal. I will always love you mum
I worked in Northern Uganda for about 3 years; am not Acholi but if there is a place I ever called home other than my ancestral home, it's this Luo land (Gulu, Lira, Pader and Kitgum). This song makes it even more emotional. God bless you guys; I truly miss home!
This energy of a Luo is in every part of this WORLD.... I'm a Kenyan Luo... Very proud of my fellow from another country.... Luo music hits different dears.... Lots of love to everyone who shares in this piece of happiness
True. Let's keep praying for one another. God has great plan for the Luo nation wherever we are all over the world. Our hospitality is like that of Abraham, hosting strangers and feeding them not knowing that one day God himself would visit him. So, it shall be to this great people in these last days. SHALOM!
@cohencyrus5337 Yes! Kenyan is close to Ugandan Alur and Padhola, Jonam is very exact to Tanzanian Luo. Apart from a few pronunciation differences like Obong'o and Lubanga, yabwo yoo and yawo yoo, yoo oleng' and yoo oleng'... Acholi and Lango (JoPaJok) were the first wave of Luo movement into Kenya from Pajok, an area shared by Uganda and South Sudan. The contention between the Acholi and Lango weakened them, they would soon be invaded by the Padhola (another Luo group that had assimilated the a significant Bantu population especially the Banyoro often refered to as JokOwiny). They were from an area refered to as Pubungu Pakwatch also refered to as Paluo/Kaluo. Another group arrived from the Busoga (Jokalee) who had lived amongest the Bantu for over 200years. They were quickly followed by the Luo Biito and Chope (Suba Proper) these were the 5 sons of Kabaka Muwanga 1 who came to prevent the expansion of the Maasai and Kalenjins into Bunyoro-Kitara and Rwanda Urundi kingdoms, alongside them were Chope worriors. Although majority were assimilated amongest the Luhya, Suba and Kisii, a few like Sakwa, Asembo, Uyoma remained as Luo. The last major migration into Kenya were the Alur-Jonam group from Uganda-DRC border area of Payimol. They are often refered to as JokOmollo, they assimilated alot of other Nilotic and Bantu groups including Lendu, Lugbara, Muru etc and came into Kenya through Uganda. They were very violent and fought and assimilated all the other groups West of Lake Victoria leading to the expansion of the Luo into Tanzania and rapid assimilation of Northern Tanzania Bantus either by the escaping Acholi, Lango and the Padhola. These group also attempted the Northern Assimilation of the Bantu but they were stopped by the European invasion of East Africa. The last group were the Suba people who split from Baganda group into Kenya and Tanzania. Majority would be assimilated by the Owiny and Alur Luo. Various conflicts led to further assimilation into Luo by Kalenjin (Sabaot, Nandi and Kipsigis), Teso, Maasai (Siria) among other extinct Nilotic groups. I am a Luo of the admixture of the assimilated groups. Paternally from the Sabaot (Kalenjin) and Nyala (Bantu Luhya), admixture found among the Banyore and Sakwa (Luo Babito) Clan, Materially Maasai (Siria) of the Luo Kamagambo clan and Subi-Kisii (Bantu Abakunta) of Gem-Umani (Luo-Alur/JokoOmollo clan). I will thus be grafted into Babito and Alur Luo groups. While the Kenyan and Tanzanian Luo are widely considered Nilotes, they are a perfect example of a Nilo-Bantu admixture. This is the point of departure as several Bantu words have been integrated into the Luo of Kenya, Tanzania and DRC. The Luo of Ethiopia have also slightly borrowed Oromo and Amharic words. The Luo of South Sudan have also borrowed Arabic, Nuer and Dinka words. The Eastern and Central Africa Luo are the most affected by the Boundaries in East and Central Africa

As soon as i had this playing in the distance, I remembered all of it, my ancestral roots, my family both in Oyam and Kumi, the good vibes in the local communities, especially as a visitor. I love our culture, and this is such an inspirational song, "wan u katakata!"

May this song encourage every healthcare worker(nurses. Doctors, and everyone working in nursing homes)while battling the corona virus. God bless and keep you safe and your families
Am a Luo from Kenya and am really enjoying my Acholi brothers' culture. Most word I am understanding like " polo, jawar, nega, goyapiny, weitema, kichi, omera..."
This song and production deserves a worldwide recognition.. Especially the flute thing is killing me with enjoyment... This would be another best genre after Afrobeat in Uganda believe me if we put some more mix in it.. purely Afrikanssss
I am from Kenya Yoo = road/path; Leng = clear. If it was in Kenya the song would have been sung as "Yo ler wanakalala" = The path is clear for us to pass. Ofcourse I have avoided the biblical part.
@@Nancyahenda Sometime if you are Kenyan Luo you have to listen and try to interpret what Acholi's are trying to say because they use very deep accent. For example when the song start (0:08 to 0:14) he Says "Jachwech Oyawo Yoo wanakarara" Even a Kenya Luo will understand if the accent was lighter and he listened much keener. Jachwech = Creator = Nyasaye/Ohinga/Jachwe Polo koda Piny [Kenya].... The rest are quite clear. I also learned that banana is called Labolo and here in Kenya it is called Rabolo = so wanakarara should be clear just change r to l and you are in Awasi City.
This is a beautiful Ugandan, Nilotic, Acholi, Luo, Gospel, Christian Song! Please keep the videos coming. Everything about these lyrics and this video is Class!!!!
Am amunyokole but the day j met this song on media j loved jt so much though j don't know the meaning,,every morning j wake up j play jt on hopfer,,,j love jt so much,,,may the lord continue to bless u guys
If you've ever lost someone or something of immense value to you, you will understand that regret can be a greater force than gratitude. God of orphans, God of widows your name shall be praise and glorify. may good lord God bless you to support once anthers Romeo Odong.
Pililili Yoo Leng Indeed The Road Is Clear, There Are No Obstacles. Thank You So Much Mr. Odong Romeo For The Performance At The Janzi Awards . May The Almighty God Bless You
I didn't even know what they were saying and it didn’t matter. I loved it off the blocks. Simply Brilliant and infectious. I found myself increasing the volume to obscene levels and dancing on the 4th repeat. I had to come to UA-cam searching for it. It is even more beautiful with the closed caption interpretation. I love it even more. (Such a deep encouraging message as well)
Mr odongo R when lsaid this was prophetic song has it not come pass and it's the most played song in uganda in whole walks of life, lhope you reaching out and helping others!!!
As a Luo from Kenya i did not need much of the caption😁😁😁, PROUD LUO damn this song is beautiful. All Luos in East and Central Africa should come together and organize a Africa Luo Culture coz we share a lot culture wise. Just like we call Yoo road in Kenya here too.
The song is so beautiful and meaningful. Romeo Odong and the choir combined pride in Acholi culture and joy while praising the Lord. You have my respect. Man of Dahomey (Cotonou Benin West Africa)
True identity of Northerners. Great meaning Inspiring Loving The first day listen to it I was like Waaaooo What a song. This song is not for Acholi's. The world enjoys the lyrics more than them that what I say. Love it and will always love W
Am so proud ov dem and part of them..Notherners r so creative and they luv what they r doing...yoo leng indeed...the jney is smooth and gud to go..bless u Romeo n d crew
God clears all obstacles on his way. He's protected by the heavens...many have tried bewitching..hurting...but God clears his path every time...don't lose hope when in distress for God with always see you through
@@peterkidega3700 Omuga rwath, I am A Luo from Kenya: Does Yoo Leng translate to the "road is clear" or it is totally different. In Kenya Yoo is road and clear is ler. The Wanakarara does it mean we will easily pass. In Kenya it is "wanakalala = We will easily pass"
@@barbariansoviet Yoo is road/path and leng is clear/clean/no obstacles so depends on context really. And in this case he refers to how God keeps away obstacles/challenges from his/their path/life's road etc
I love this song even without knowing the lyrics! Today, I'm super blessed when I got the subtitle. Truly God protects and made the way for me!!! #yoo leng #withlovefromnigeria
Romeo Odong, thank you and all those involved with this song and video. I'm an African American who happened upon this video thanks to UA-cam's recommendation. I love it! I was fortunate to be friends with a Luo family who resided in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. They introduced me to some Luo music via casette tapes and shared information about Lou culture in Kenya. Regrettably, I've lost touch with them. But I wouldn't be surprised if they know your "Yoo Leng" song and are reading this discussion thread. If so. Judith and Lucas, I greet you and your family! Again, thank you Romeo Odong. God bless you!
I also want to mention that I took the liberty to showcase this video in a post on my pancocojams cultural blog. That post includes a comment exchange from this discussion thread and sub-titles from a fan made video of this song . The link is to that post is pancocojams.blogspot.com/2020/01/ugandan-acholi-gospel-song-pililili-yoo.html

Do you people speak same language, Kenyan Luo and Ugandan Luo

GOD continues to protect his children

@@harrbirungi4301 ; they added subtitles; so check it out the translation from Acholi💯💯
Am a Luo from Kenya and am really enjoying my Acholi brothers' culture. Most word I am understanding like " polo, jawar, nega, goyapiny, weitema, kichi, omera..."
Then stop your nonsense of believing your lord of poverty and integrate with other people for your prosperity
@@henrynjuguna6877 Who hurt you soo much? Heal nanii heal!
This song and production deserves a worldwide recognition..
Especially the flute thing is killing me with enjoyment...
This would be another best genre after Afrobeat in Uganda believe me if we put some more mix in it.. purely Afrikanssss
who's here 2024 😅
Yoo leng we luo are one, watching from Kenya
I am from Kenya Yoo = road/path; Leng = clear. If it was in Kenya the song would have been sung as "Yo ler wanakalala" = The path is clear for us to pass. Ofcourse I have avoided the biblical part.
I looove Luo people❤️❤️❤️.. Beautiful people, beautiful women, is there a ritual that would annount a non Luo as one of the luo?
@@barbariansoviet hahaha you have to complete it, anyway thanks alot
@@Nancyahenda Sometime if you are Kenyan Luo you have to listen and try to interpret what Acholi's are trying to say because they use very deep accent. For example when the song start (0:08 to 0:14) he Says "Jachwech Oyawo Yoo wanakarara" Even a Kenya Luo will understand if the accent was lighter and he listened much keener. Jachwech = Creator = Nyasaye/Ohinga/Jachwe Polo koda Piny [Kenya].... The rest are quite clear. I also learned that banana is called Labolo and here in Kenya it is called Rabolo = so wanakarara should be clear just change r to l and you are in Awasi City.
@@barbariansoviet wao great job congrats, ehh you can really be a good interpreter better the luo community
يا أحلى ناس أخواننا السودانيين الجنوبين ❤❤

Pililili Yoo Leng
Indeed The Road Is Clear, There Are No Obstacles. Thank You So Much Mr. Odong Romeo For The Performance At The Janzi Awards . May The Almighty God Bless You
Pililili Yoo Leng... lageng Yoo pe ...pilili lalarwa oyaw Yoo ...Love this song LUO from Kenya..
I didn't even know what they were saying and it didn’t matter. I loved it off the blocks.
Simply Brilliant and infectious. I found myself increasing the volume to obscene levels and dancing on the 4th repeat.
I had to come to UA-cam searching for it. It is even more beautiful with the closed caption interpretation. I love it even more. (Such a deep encouraging message as well)
Mr odongo R when lsaid this was prophetic song has it not come pass and it's the most played song in uganda in whole walks of life, lhope you reaching out and helping others!!!
As a Luo from Kenya i did not need much of the caption😁😁😁, PROUD LUO damn this song is beautiful. All Luos in East and Central Africa should come together and organize a Africa Luo Culture coz we share a lot culture wise. Just like we call Yoo road in Kenya here too.
I am a Kenyan Luo worker and living in Uganda, I love this song Acholi❤
This is an amazing Song I landed on it when I was stranded at the airport in Sweden and it prophetically ministered to me God bless you brother
The song is so beautiful and meaningful. Romeo Odong and the choir combined pride in Acholi culture and joy while praising the Lord. You have my respect.
Man of Dahomey (Cotonou Benin West Africa)
One of the best gospel song of all time.
True identity of Northerners.
Great meaning
Inspiring
Loving
The first day listen to it I was like Waaaooo
What a song.
This song is not for Acholi's.
The world enjoys the lyrics more than them that what I say.
Love it and will always love

Am so proud ov dem and part of them..Notherners r so creative and they luv what they r doing...yoo leng indeed...the jney is smooth and gud to go..bless u Romeo n d crew
I love this song. I dont understand anything but I play it loud on my music system. The beats are good and the sing sounds sweet just
God clears all obstacles on his way. He's protected by the heavens...many have tried bewitching..hurting...but God clears his path every time...don't lose hope when in distress for God with always see you through
@@peterkidega3700 Omuga rwath, I am A Luo from Kenya: Does Yoo Leng translate to the "road is clear" or it is totally different. In Kenya Yoo is road and clear is ler. The Wanakarara does it mean we will easily pass. In Kenya it is "wanakalala = We will easily pass"
@@barbariansoviet Yoo is road/path and leng is clear/clean/no obstacles so depends on context really. And in this case he refers to how God keeps away obstacles/challenges from his/their path/life's road etc
@@peterkidega3700 Thanks bro I can now understand it. I am told in Acholi thank you is Apwoyo. In Kenya Apwoyo means I praise you.
@@barbariansoviet welcome. Yeah we say apwoyo..thanks night.
I enjoy listening to this piece of art, I am Luo and I understand a little Acholi.Much love from Kenya❤❤
Me too, yo ler ma wakalakala
@@lucyawili6698 Rachuonyo oyawo yoo wan wakalakala
@@ramogilinetakoth6716 I think the creator opened our way should be " jachuech" oyao yoo (Kenyan Luo) not "rachuonyo" oyao yoo
Always enjoyed this song. Little did I know that it is a gospel song! Now with captions m enjoying it more! Amen!
I love this song even without knowing the lyrics!
Today, I'm super blessed when I got the subtitle.
Truly God protects and made the way for me!!!
#yoo leng
#withlovefromnigeria
Wow...our savior has opened our way. I now know why my Dad loved this song.
Romeo Odong, thank you and all those involved with this song and video. I'm an African American who happened upon this video thanks to UA-cam's recommendation. I love it!
I was fortunate to be friends with a Luo family who resided in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. They introduced me to some Luo music via casette tapes and shared information about Lou culture in Kenya. Regrettably, I've lost touch with them. But I wouldn't be surprised if they know your "Yoo Leng" song and are reading this discussion thread. If so. Judith and Lucas, I greet you and your family!
Again, thank you Romeo Odong. God bless you!
I also want to mention that I took the liberty to showcase this video in a post on my pancocojams cultural blog. That post includes a comment exchange from this discussion thread and sub-titles from a fan made video of this song . The link is to that post is pancocojams.blogspot.com/2020/01/ugandan-acholi-gospel-song-pililili-yoo.html
We are Luo people of Uganda though Kenya is a neighbouring country
By far the best music video, lyrics and tune amongst all the Ugandan songs I have heard in the last 5 years

Thanks To Northern Ugandans For the Nice Song Yoo Leng..I'm Wani All The Way From South Sudan ...I had a perfect stay in Gulu..So its never a surprise for such a song to come from Northern Uganda.
Wow I'm protected by God.. Don't try me keep going omira.
I don't understand the language but I'm really feeling the song as if am from Northern Ug. Thank you for the lyrics too,I am enjoying everything now.may God continue to be with you 🙏
I understand that if you have any blood relations with the babito clans,you will naturally feel the Luo vibe...
Believe it or not ,Africa has the richest culture in the whole world 🌍
I agree !!
