“Okwanjula” from Ekivvulu Ky’Endere by Justinian Tamusuza

One of Africa’s leading contemporary composers, Uganda’s Justinian Tamusuza considers this to be his best work, incorporating traditional African folk elements, minimalist techniques, polyrhythms and unique instrumentation with specific performance instructions to simulate a troupe of African musicians. The first section of this challenging work is Okwanjula Kw’ Endere (Introduction of the Flute) – a dramatic 7 minute solo flute soliloquy, may be performed separately as a solo piece.
