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
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
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!
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.
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.
Beautiful song that gave us hope ,peace among ourselves in hardship we were going thru till now we are still alive . For those who lost their lives in the struggled rest in peace
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.
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
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.

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.
Acoli Uganda and Sudan ,are same the difference is geographical and of cause the mind set of the person who sees the difference ,we are one great people
uganda should secure the traditional instruments by having them patented step two help them market this music is posted on youtube I don't know how the boys are benefiting comment by kosgey peter sawe kenya
