Enkombe ya Rwanda

Item note: Traditional endingiri solo. This was Cooke's first return visit to Uganda since 1968.  Many of the informants were old friends who had survived 19 years of political turmoil and war.  Conditions in southern Uganda were bad - the infrastructure of the country was in ruins  and manufactured goods were in desperately short supply.  Northern Uganda  was still at war with the new President of Uganda,  Museveni; The 1987 visit was made possible through the generosity of the Carnegie Trust for the Universities of Scotland and the Travel and Research Committee of the University of Edinburgh. Performance note: In Akagoma dansi rhythm. Endingiri tube fiddle. Recordist's note: In Peter Cooke's notes, this is PCUG87.17.3.
