EKUKA

EKUKA

EKUKA has been played on NTS in shows including God's Waiting Room w/ David Holmes, featured first on 28 July 2018. Songs played include Acoc Acoc Twol Iye Akayi , English Record and PQ.

Hailing from the Langi tribe of Lira, Northern Uganda, legendary griot Ekuka Morris Sirikiti performs his music in various situations - festivities, market days, and other gatherings - on a homemade foot/drum contraption coupled with the lukeme; a small, handheld thumb piano that produces flurries of metallic rhythmelody under deft digits, and is maybe best known as an Mbira in its heavily distorted use by the DRC’s amazing Konono Nº1, as well as myriad other recordings from the vast Central and East African region.
