Opira Morise Kato - Headman

Scandal Studios - Ugandan Recordings
Opira sings in Acholi-language and plays on a traditional Ugandan instrument called 'Adungu'. He made this acoustic instrument into an electrical one. With some built-in pickups (out of an old radio) powered by batteries and two Sony HiFi speakers, he is good to go!
Opira Morise Kato: "During the insurgency in northern Uganda beheadings took place. This song is about a man that has been accused of having beheaded a child. People suspect that he sold heads in order to receive money. But suspicions are not always true and can escalate because of issues such as land wrangles between families. The message of this song is that people should learn the truth before talking bad about someone."
Production: Evert Daniel Aalten
Camera: Karin van Bemmel

Opira you are very right, land issue has made many people in our region to die. It will still continue unless we hear messages coming from you and others! I think in a way God's talking to us all through your music!
