Kyokoba, did I get it right?, this song is making a
great buzz all over east Africa, enlighten us on feelings behind it, sounds
deep..lol This is a Lusoga word to mean ‘’what ever you
say’’ And the song is alove story. I did
nt talk about my writing of many stories while I sat quit in my child hood so, here it is! I write a song or story and I
act and feel it as the character in question a man craving for love. That is
why I put a lot of feeling in this particular song plus I want the lusoga
language to have a special feeling when listened to. Because, as you know now
that every one despises our Busoga , I wanna make em dance to it and listen to
it and enjoy it; It has work though.
