Ogwang Clipper plays 'nanga', a traditional instrument with seven nylon strings in a wooden box. Clipper is one of the most experienced and respected nanga players in northern Uganda. He performs together with his wife Sabina Lawino.
This song is recorded at Mr. Clippers home in Kitgum town. Children from the neighbourhood gathered to watch the performance. In this song Ogwang Clipper sings about how president Barack Obama is perceived to to be their Luo son and how the big man has defeated Osama bin Laden.

God what we need ,you also need , a man which develop our tranditionl culture ,you music can made tear too roll .😢😢
A typical Luo and Acholi Music Composition, play, rhythm with poetic lyrics and dances portraying true historical Luo events and encounters e.g A Bwola song" Oneko Oyuru nock rac ocera lweny*2, Oneko Oyuru AKILA ywayo mony me la nek Oyuru, Lyel pa Oyuru odong i Te-kidi....//Meaning//" Oyuru is translated as Europeans(whites) due to thier silky and crowdy hair", "AKILA a Luo Army General (Holly hood films now call him Achules/Acillis the son of juus), and Te-Tekidi was the city/palace/home believed to be the now Tebeth in Egypt" The current name for Entebbe District of Uganda was started referring/comparing to tebeth the former palace when the Luo's reached the sores of lake Victoria// " En" means "this is" and "Tebbe" meaning Tebeth/Our Palace/Kings stool/King seat" . The Ogwang Clippers and others are our true legends and Hero's preserving the LUO Pride, talent and peace as is now and then in historical times. Thanks for the current technological advancement and civilization that will keep you a life for millenniums and a far. My Luo souls truly comes out when listening. Thanks scandal studio excellent and be Blessed.
A flash of the young ones listening to the song, tears roll down my eyes. Who will be Obama of Africa?

This instrument is only used by Acholi people in South Sudan and Uganda only
I wish Obama would listen to this song. He probable wouldn't understand it. In short" Osama met his match"
