Frenetic and Urgent,
By
This review is from: Royal Court Music from Uganda 1950 & 1952 (Audio CD)
V/A, "Royal Court of Uganda", SWP 1998These Ugandans play like their pants are on fire. It's rare that African field recordings -- or any recordings, for that matter -- have this much fire, verve, and urgency. These field recordings by Hugh Tracey in 1950 and 1952 document the playing of royal instruments, most of which have been destroyed when Prime Minister Obote "fell on the traditional monarchies of Uganda" in 1966 (according to the liner notes on the back cover). This collection of recordings is definitely not for everyone. The music had a tendency to be a little rough and extremely frenetic, constantly surging forward with remarkable intensity. Field recordings are definitely not for everyone, and within this genre, this recording is certainly unique. However, if this description piques your interest, I would not hesitate in checking this out.

These are the songs destroyed by the enemeis of Baganda its the best cd
The only problem is its mixed with banyoro and batoro music , if its possible to sell the Baganda music seperate the cd has enough Baganda songs to make it a cd
