about

Tonda Wanga,' an extraordinary indigenous hip-hop Ep that seamlessly intertwines traditional beats with contemporary sounds. Crafted by the ta MC VIRO and the Nilotika Cultural Ensemble, . This musical endeavor is a testament to the resilience and creativity birthed from the fusion of indigenous hard-hitting hip-hop patterns.

'Tonda Wanga' transcends musical boundaries, infusing authentic Lugandan cultural elements with the vibrant energy of contemporary hip-hop. The title itself, 'Tonda Wanga,' meaning 'God and his process of creation' in Lugandan, serves as a profound expression of spirituality and reverence for the divine.

This album is not merely a collection of tracks; it is a celebration of ingenuity and perseverance. Created under challenging circumstances, the artists overcame the absence of studio equipment, recording without earphones and utilizing a single left sound monitor. The raw, unfiltered nature of the production adds a layer of authenticity, showcasing the artists' dedication to their craft despite adversities.

Beyond its musical prowess, 'Tonda Wanga' carries a deeper mission. The proceeds from this album are a lifeline for Nilotika Cultural Ensemble's studio. The funds generated aim to acquire essential equipment, ensuring the sustainability of their cultural music creation. Every beat, every lyric, and every purchase of 'Tonda Wanga' contributes to the empowerment of artists facing challenges, marking a pivotal moment in the journey toward cultural preservation through music.
