Ukulele songs from Africa in Luganda and Swahili

15 2009

After our arctic expedition it’s time for us to travel to warmer latitudes. Today we are travelling to Africa where German David Forger plays the ukulele for Ugandan children while singing a song in Luganda. The children look delighted and sing along. The ukulele is a source of cheerfulness !

And here is another ukulele song, in Swahili this time, a love song called Malaika.

    Hi,

    it’s nice that you publish my video from Uganda, but the language is not swahili. It is Luganda :)

    greetings
    David

    David: Hi David, thanks very much for correcting the language. I have updated the post and corrected the mistake.
    And I have learnt something new :)
