In this song Geoffrey is singing in Alur. This language is spoken in province Orientale in Congo (RD), in Uganda and in Kenya. Can't tell where you can learn it. You're welcome in east Africa :-)
June 1979, Kampala, the white women had left Uganda, I arrived. Memory comes up... beautyful country, however,sadness, tears, hunger, misery all over. Hearing Oryema's song I feel like in exile today.
incredible song...i can't believe my ears! the same level as Makambo which is the best song ever written. I just love it. so sweet and sad and all the things I love in a song.
I've just randomly come across this song, listened, sit back with my eyes shut and started to dreamin' away, got speechless by the amazingly beautiful acoustic and his solemn voice, though I don't understand what he's singin' about but it saddens me
So much amazing ... what a beauty ?

No need for pictures, just close your eyes and the pictures appear, a sight for sore eyes and music for sore ears. Thanks for a great song

This song is amazing. I'm definitely choreographing to this song.
So much sentiment in what he's saying.
Does anybody have the lyrics? I've been trying to find them online but have been unsuccessful.

Since the early 90s his music has inspired me to endure.

To endure? We all grapple with finding motivation to endure at times. But what must you endure?
