Watmon Cultural Group with Akello- Amone Lareku - The Singing Wells project

During our 2012 trip to Uganda we were joined by singer/songwriter ‘Akello’. Originally from a small village near Gulu, Akello now lives in Kampala. She travelled with us back to the north of the country and was not only invaluable acting as a translator when we visited the Acholi communities in the area, but also performed some of her songs for the Influences series, accompanied by the local music groups.

Recorded on the 6th December 2012 as part of the Singing Wells project.
