In an era when most Africans ape the west, here is one true African who chooses to bring to the world music from the heart.
The heart of an African singer from Uganda sings out with finger snaps, African lyre, drums, shakers, mourns, yells, cries, et al.
Hear it for your self.

Kawesa skillfully blends Western and African instruments and vocals to bring out World music from East Africa.
Warning: Brace thyself for creative, daring and weird Kawesa, in his own sound!
