An invitation to participate in stories told, sung, and danced from a culturally rich area of East Africa, "The Pearl of Africa": Uganda. Acoustic arrangements of traditional folk songs performed using authentic instrumentation: strings, flutes, and percussion. Audience participation is inevitable.
Gideon Ampeire, born and raised in Uganda, is the teacher and director of Echo Uganda. With an unending youthful energy, Gideon shares the music and dance of his homeland with any and all who will listen, appreciate, and participate. In the relatively short time since his move to the U.S., he has established a performing group of primarily Americans. Lured by his innocent magnetism, Gideon has taught each member how to play the instruments from Uganda, the melodic progressions of the songs, the vocal arrangements and pronunciation of the Ugandan dialects, and the stories and dances which accompany each song.
