CollectionMore Info:
Ugandans have triumphantly tapped the power of their traditional music to battle the Aids pandemic. Performed with dramatization and dance in settings all through rural Uganda, this unique blend of music and public health has helped make Uganda's record of success against HIV/AIDS, one of the best in Africa. In turn, Uganda is revitalized and made contemporary. SINGING FOR LIFE affirms the profound strength of the people's music in promoting hope and positive change. This 66 minute collection includes 14 tracks and a 36 page booklet with extensive notes.Reviews:
The devastation of HIV has raged through Africa largely unchecked, but Uganda offers a remarkable exception, having demonstrated how cultural changes can bring about greater public health. Music was just one weapon in the arsenal marshaled against the disease, and this disc collects some of the traditional tunes altered to serve the cause.
