adangu

A short video made for female music group from Paibona, Uganda (2019)

The video about Rita, a musician from northern Uganda playing her self-made instrument adangu,  was not created  as a short ethnomusicologist documentary or as a travel video. It was created mainly for Rita to present her original instrument and playing technique and her village ensemble in order to open up the possibility of external support or the opportunity  to perform. The story of the adangu instrument intertwines with her life story and the recent history of Uganda.
