about

On this album, the powerful roots of Oryema's African heritage have a more subtle influence on the music. The songs are now more universal, expressed in English, his second language, and influenced by guitarist Jean-Pierre Alarcen's pop-rock roots.

about

Geoffrey Oryema Soroti, Uganda

Geoffrey Oryema is from Uganda, the source of his musical roots. His work, however, has been inspired by myriad styles — a fully-realised absorption of Western pop, African traditions, and the creative need to define a very personal musical identity.
