Lapwony means Teacher in Acholi dialect from Northern Uganda.. The dad of Geofrey Oryema was called Eronayo Oryema, he was the first Inspector General of Police in a post independence Uganda. He was murdered by dictator Idi Amin. My dad was his driver. That is how he ended up in exile in the1970s in France where he lived until his death.
I wish some day humans will praise our Lord Jesus Christ with music like this. ...David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him. 1 Samuel 16: 23b
I've just found Oryema thanks to yt recommendation. I'm impressed. It's amazing music, even when I don't understand a word. However I wonder what is he singing about. Can anyone translate it, or just tell content less or more? Please.. Greetings from Poland! : )
It’s a poetic piece. This song is more than what it says. It’s a mixture of joy and sadness. It says;shortage of money stops me from marrying and has made me stingy (chan lim neka Nono wek adoko lagingi)The chorus on the other hand says;it rained on the teacher(kot ogoyo lapwony) This is an Acholi/luo language from the northern part of Uganda(East Africa. RIP legend

looks like 1 person had to have clicked "dislike" by accident. that's the only way that could have happened...
@FinsterFlummoxing thnks for the meaning, but if he died on the spot by lightning, how did he writte a farewell letter? i'm confused :)
@idropatrick thank you for these infos :)
Rip 😢😢
Anyone know which album this is from?
Luke Nel beat the border
Quelqu'un aurait le titre de la chanson du début dans un indien dans la ville svp?.Je sais juste que c Geoffrey Oryema qui la chante.
RIP
10 months ago from March 2020. you learnt he had gone to heaven :(
Parti trop tôt
Someone have the lyrics?
Perhaps he died on the spot but not necessarily instantly.
Sad news : he passed away today.
