Ennanga Vision

Electro acholi singer Otim Alpha, former Ugandan royal musician and multi-instrumentalist Albert Ssempeke, and London producer Jesse Hackett give a psychedelic, electro pop twist to the Royal Court music of the Buganda Kingdom on this electrifying record. Ennanga Vision opens with Ssempeke’s frantic ngindidi fiddle juxtaposed to Hackett’s wide, serene electronic chords; elsewhere the rippling endongo harp and enormous amadinda xylophone add melody and elegance to the dizzying electronic production and Otim’s trance-inducing, distorted vocals.
