Geoffrey Oryema (born
April 16,
1953) is an internationally renowned
Ugandan musician. At the age of 24, at the height of
Idi Amin's power, Oryema was smuggled across the Ugandan border in the trunk of a car, following the death of his father, cabinet minister
Erinayo Wilson Oryema, beginning a life in exile. Today his songs keep alive the languages of his youth -
Swahili and
Acholi and return to the lost country - the 'clear green land' of Uganda.
