Geoffrey Oryema - From The Heart flac album

Geoffrey Oryema descended from the kingdom's Acholi aristocracy. This traditional ethnic nobility, whom British colonialists regarded as a "warrior race", took charge of Uganda's national army after the country won its independence in 1962. A privileged childhood. Music from the heart. Oryema went on to record a follow-up album on Real World in 1994. Indeed, his audacious mix of acoustic sounds and synthesiser keyboards managed to break into the notoriously hermetic market in the States, catapulting to the top of the Billboard World Music Chart (where it remained for no less than twelve weeks!)

From the Heart, 2010. How Long Will It Take, 04:05. Now playing: The police - The police - Every Breath you take. Rita Ora Let You Love Me.

From The Heart by Geoffrey Oryema (2010) Release date: 2010-10-10 Overall rank: 77,501st. Accolades: Top albums of 2010 (2,275th). Top albums of the 2010s (22,602nd). Best albums of all time (77,501st).

This album contains a mix of songs, roughly half of which concern African civil war and the pressing ganging of children into armies. Those songs are sad, but potent, and contain some jaw-droppingly beautiful singing by Oryema. The rest of the songs lighten the record, but are also solid songs. Note that he's in folk-rock/rock band mode here: don’t expect much kalimba playing or African instrumentation. One of the greatest artists worldwide. Glad to see he is still making.
