@wamanya2 My heart bleeds when I pass through a popular fruit market at the heart of Kampala. They can't last for more than a week, yet somewhere fruits harvested this year have a sell by date of February 2027, no mistake 2027. Moreover soft fruits. Special storage needed.

The language in this much-shared piece is Lango, spoken by Uganda’s Langi people. The song is called Waloyo Yamoni, which means "we overcome the wind". Performed by Jimmer Bolden and composed by Christopher Tin, it’s from the classical album “The Drop That Contained The Sea’.
