NEW NEW DVD

Ebenezer T. Bifubyeka May 21st Akayo singers launch 1st gospel album…
The New Vision

ANKOLE-KIGEZI Adventist Youth Organisation (Akayo), the only gospel music group in western Uganda , has launched its maiden video album. This is the first gospel album in western Uganda .

The 19-member Akayo singers, comprised of nine males and 10 females, launched the 10-track DVD (digital versatile disc) album on May 18 at Silver Theatre, Mbarara town. Each song was shown on a large screen aside, as Akayo singers presented it live on stage.

The launch of the album that is named after its lead song, Tusingwiire, was spiced up by the play entitled, Tusingwiire. The play showcased a best-man who almost blocked the wedding of his close friend by gossiping – with an intention of filching the bride to be!

The group’s Patron, Felix B. Basiime said they often travel countrywide, singing and presenting their songs and plays - in different local languages besides English. Both the songs and plays: Tusingwiire (literary meaning, I have triumphed) and Taryanguzi (‘God doesn’t take bribes’), emphasise repentance.

Basiime, who is also the Akayo’s publicity secretary, said that whoever is caught copying Tusingwiire - will be liable to a fine not less than sh3m.

The guest of honour, Mrs. Sylvia Namyalo Mugalu, who launched the album, said; members of the 10-year-old Akayo music group have sweet voices. She said this is why Akayo’s CDs and DVDs are selling very well. Akayo’s DVDs cost sh10,000 each.

“This is a talent; it’s not gambling. I got to know you through your audio CD I heard at a friend’s place in Kampala where I reside. Akayo’s songs bring one closer to God,” said Mrs. Mugalu, the proprietor of Mega Electronics and City light arcade in Mbarara.

Commenting on Taryanguzi after watching it at Mbarara catholic social centre recently, the woman MP for Mbarara district, Emma Boona said, “Stop torturing children for they get psychologically tortured, which results into mental problems!”

She added that later in life, such step-mothers who torture their step children go to seek financial assistance from the same children they mistreated!

The 10 tracks on Tusingwiire album, which were selected from their eight audio CDs, include; Tusingwiire, There is a land, Mwokozi wangu, Mumubambe, Namani, Niwe ogwo, Damasiko, Elimereki, Nitaenda and There’s a home.
