| Geoffrey Oryema - The River |
 |
Paint me a picture of a river
and let it flow
just let it flow
it will flow and wash away our differences
and love will grow
You have the power to deliver
so let it flow
When I dip my hand into your water
I feel your soul
Nafikiliya Koruba Shamba
Nafikiliya Koruba Shamba
I'll do the fire by your river of metled
stone
you can drink the silver of my moonlight
as our fire burns
the fire burns
I'll slide inside your slient water
like polished stone
then break the surface with a shiver
while the river flows
Nafikiliya Koruba Shamba
Nafikiliya Koruba Shamba
Paint me a picture of the river
and let it flow
let it flow
all across the deserts and the mountains
we'll let it go
let it go
Nafikiliya Koruba Shamba
Nafikiliya Koruba Shamba

Geoffrey Oryema, est un musicien,
auteur-compositeur et chanteur de rock/world
music, né le 16 avril 1953 à Soroti, en
Ouganda. Il s'est réfugié en France en 1977
pour fuir la dictature d'Amin Dada après
l'accident de son père Ministre, soupçonné
de cacher un assassinat par le pouvoir
ougandais. Il s'établit à Lillebonne
(Seine-Maritime) en 1989, puis se marie Ã
une Française peu après et obtient la
nationalité française. Il a enregistré son
premier album Exile en 1990, produit par
Brian Eno, et édité par le célèbre label
Real World par Peter Gabriel. Il s'accompagne
pour créér sa musique de divers instruments
typiquement africains dont la kora mais ne
dédaigne pas non plus la guitare électrique
et les instruments rock. Il chante en
anglais, en ougandais et en français. Dès
ce premier album il a rapidement connu un
succès international avec Ye Ye Ye
(générique de l'émission de France 2, Le
Cercle de minuit). La presse française et
internationale l'a souvent dépeint comme un
«Leonard Cohen africain» et le couvre
d'éloges. Il s'affirme de plus en plus comme
un artiste africain assumant ses influences
rock, créateur et artiste à part entière
et très apprécié sur la scène musicale
internationale comme Lokua Kanza ou Richard
Bona.

| Makambo "Why?" - Zulu - Geoffrey Oryema - Red Shoe |
 |
Please Read: A story from the land of the
Zulu in Africa. (NOTE: Some words in video
spelled for effect or sound - as opposed to
correct spelling.) Correct Artist and Source
Information listed below. (To the extent
possible.)
Perhaps one of the most beautiful mood music
songs in the world. While the actual lyrics
are nearly impossible to interpret or
translate - they cut across all language
barriers and speak clearly to all peoples.
Similarly the mood and the message of this
song may be applied externally as it
questions the human condition or internally
for a mind bending, soul moving introspective
look into the more personal matters of the
heart. Either way it connects with the
listener in a way that cannot be defined by
mere words as it drips raw emotion and moves
the soul.
"Makambo" - Geoffrey Oryema - Uganda -
Original Score - Geoffrey Oryema - "Red Shoe
Diary" (I've been looking for love.
But I didn't find it.)

Geoffrey Oryema (born April 16, 1953) is an
internationally renowned Ugandan musician. At
the age of 24, at the height of Idi Amin's
power, Oryema was smuggled across the Ugandan
border in the trunk of a car, following the
death of his father, cabinet minister Erinayo
Wilson Oryema, beginning a life in exile.
Today his songs keep alive the languages of
his youth - Swahili and Acholi and lost
country of Uganda.
Oryema has collaborated with, amongst others,
Peter Gabriel. Gabriel's record label, Real
World, helped with the first three of
Oryema's albums. He later moved to Sony, in
France where Oryema resides. Besides his
native languages, he also sings in English
and French.
A Truly Inspired Master.
All of his music is highly recommended.
