Across a century of colonial encounters, cultural awakenings, and political revolutions, Ugandan musicians blended diverse traditions to create a sound as expansive as the Equator itself. Echoes of the Pearl follows the fascinating journey of Uganda's music, from the Kabaka's royal courts to rumba nightclubs, from pealing cathedral hymns to the gritty grooves of Kampala's streets.
