The Mpumudde 4sq church worship band from Jinja Uganda gave a demonstration of their incredible talent to my team and I in July. Listen to the patterns...They are not too far from what a Soukous band would do....This is an ethnomusicologist's dream event.

The lyrics are something like "Baba ninajua kupenda wewe," which means "Father, I know that I love you." "Kupenda," the word they keep repeating means to love in Kiswahili. "Wewe" means you.

@EricRSmyth I'm sure the villagers would appreciate nothing more than a pudgy, well-to-do Westerner stumbling around their village going duuuuuuuuuude! Please Eric, dude, bro, braaaaaaahhhhh, ask your parents for the money, it's either this or Cancun, no, really, spread the kindness of the kind bud for these poor villagers who are waiting for their messiah, the white monkey God who will come in flip flips and board shorts, chanting to sound of eternity, duuuude, duuuuude...

What country is this? They are, in fact, singing in Swahili language.
