Everyone should also come to @NyegeNyegeFest which happens in Uganda in September each year. There is a lot of fun, a lot of electronic music & traditional. Hopefully the virus will end & people can come, we will enjoy together. #TimsTwitterListeningParty xitter.gq/bluedotfestival/status…
A real highlight of bluedot 2019, and a massive privilege working with the amazing @NyegeNyegeFest

The Acholi tribe is a rich family in music & dance. We have many different dances & types of songs: war songs, dances for kings, wedding dancing, funeral dances, dance for youths, courtship dances. #TimsTwitterListeningParty xitter.gq/OtimAlpha/status/12873…
My type of music is acholitronix. My tribe is Acholi and I use our local instruments - like adungu, fiddle, drums, kallimba, lukemu, calabas - and mix that traditional music with electronics. #timstwitterlisteningparty xitter.gq/OtimAlpha/status/12873…

Gulu is where I was born. It’s in northern Uganda and it just became a city. The album is called Gulu City Anthems because it tells the story of what is happening in Gulu, the good & the bad. #TimsTwitterListeningParty xitter.gq/OtimAlpha/status/12873…

First song: Gang ber ki dako - this song is telling my brother to get a woman to stay with, because here we believe when a home has a woman that is a good home. She can help you and support you. I am telling my brother that will make him live happily. #TimsTwitterListeningParty
