"Oli Kibun'omu" is the third single by Ugandan Nyabingi band Nilotika Cultural Ensemble is OUT TODAY!
It is a sweet poem in the Luganda language of the Baganda people in Uganda. The song is performed by the honey-toned Nsonga who sings to a hypnotic bass adungu rhythm, with the sweet harmonies of the Nilotika vocal choir and the massive percussion rhythm of the whole band.
