Central region: Bakisimba/Nankasa/Muwogola and Embaga
Western region: Ekitaguriro, Runyege/Ntogoro/ Ekizino
Eastern region: Mwaga, Bwola, Kadodi, Amasoga,
North region: Agwara, Dingi dingi, Adungu/ Gaze
HOUSE OF TALENT OCHESTRA:
HOT is putting together a very unique ochestra made up of rare indigenous instruments that originate from the various ethnic tribes, Africa is enriched with. These include Engooma, Engalabi, adungu, agwara, Edingidi, endere, entongoli, enkwanzi, amadinda, Akogo. One should not only listen to these indigenous traditional instruments being played but also watch them being played. This is another performance all together!
WHAT YOU SHOULD EXPECT:
We shall spice your ceremony, function, and evening, meal with a blend of cultural dances, music, and performances from all ethnic cultures of Uganda. This would hitherto be Uganda’s only Family Cultural Extravaganza every Friday Evening at Sports View Hotel.
In due course, we shall enrich our performances with a contemporary indigenous story telling theatre practice. This unique and diverse African performance taking in account elements like dramatic narration, banter, chant, recitation, song, riddling, music, dance and movement will seamlessly be interwoven to form interactive contemporary storytelling theatre performance that the Ugandan audience has not seen elsewhere
