Excellent job. Well done. Respect, respect. Wow. I'm a Nigerian and can't fathom how you were able to learn this song in the most difficult language, in this world. God bless you all.
Hey How Ben & Jon & Mr.Violine & and the nice Baby with the guitar.....it has been the best evening ever with you in flöz k, without jodeling :)) I love this song.
Yes, we do get you. Thank you guys. Awangaale Ssaabasajja Kabaka Empologoma Ya Buganda. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- BEN WRIGHT (Banjo) is a founding member and banjo player of the Prowlers. At 23 he bought a banjo on a whim in 1999 at the legendary Old Town School of Folk Music. Within weeks he fell under its spell and spent several years making up for not discovering it sooner. Ben played in several bands before forming the Prowlers including the popular Chicago Americana outfit, Outlaw Family Band. He plays a Rock Built banjo with a Huber tone ring. DAN ANDREE (Fiddle) has spent the last six years in Champaign -Urbana, earning a degree in Ethnomusicology from the University in December of 2011. His musical education began with nine years of Suzuki method and classical violin lessons with the head of the Northern Illinois University string program, Ann Montzka-Smelser. The ear and sight-reading training Dan received provided a solid platform from which to delve into fiddle genres such as bluegrass, old-time, and contemporary country. STARR MOSS (Guitar) originally played mostly electric guitar but switched to acoustic after discovering Celtic and bluegrass music in high school. Before joining the Henhouse Prowlers, Starr played in several Milwaukee bands (O’Shytte’s - Celtic rock) and String ‘Em Up (bluegrass), both in collaboration with Prowlers’ Grant. Starr is influenced primarily by the bluegrass genre, but also Celtic and old-time styles. He has had the opportunity to learn from great musicians from music festivals across the country and he recently relocated back to Chicago after spending time abroad and on the West Coast working in Latino Advocacy. JON GOLDFINE (Bass) has been supplying the bottom end and sharing vocal duties in the band since its formation in 2004. Born in Chicago to a trombone playing father and an opera-singing mother, Jon first learned the stand up bass in his Jr. High School orchestra. Since reviving his bass chops in 2000, he has performed in jazz, rock, and funk ensembles including MWC, and folk and bluegrass ensembles such as The Back Porch Ramblers. Jon is also adept on the electric bass, tuba and harmonica. He has been a guest on several recordings including Brian Walker’s Lookin’ For Light.
Awesome! Fun to see the comments of the native speakers of Luganda -- they loved it -- you guys should be in charge of our State Department instead of the clowns we have there now! Henhouse Prowlers = Fount of GOOD WILL!
Mandolin1944 I appreciate your positive comments, but the "clowns" you speak of are the ones who made this cultural exchange possible. We should be praising each other for our collective work toward increased mutual understanding! Spread love, brother :-)
danfiddle Yes I know that there are some good programs in the DOS -- we have long had standing programs in cultural exchange and career employees who run them in spite of the bureaucrats --they are not the ones who I was referring to. Many cheers! (
You must learn to praise people for working very hard, instead of putting them down. These guys did a fantastic job singing a song in a very different language. Bet you can"t speak perfect English. You are an ass.
Ugandan here - absolutely love it! :) Thank you.
This interpreation of the Eddy Kenzo song is remarkable and so enjoyable - Well done Henhouse Prowlers - so fine!!!
Wow thanks for loving my country Uganda big up u guys and eddy k
This is pretty cool. Greetings from Kenya.
Excellent job. Well done. Respect, respect. Wow. I'm a Nigerian and can't fathom how you were able to learn this song in the most difficult language, in this world. God bless you all.
great job guys, made a Ugandan far from home feel so nostalgic!!
Great stuff 👍 #Salute from Uganda East Africa
Amazing job, fellahs! I love that you learned all the Luganda AND performed it spectacularly. You are a truly talented group of musicians!
Hey How Ben & Jon & Mr.Violine & and the nice Baby with the guitar.....it has been the best evening ever with you in flöz k, without jodeling :))
I love this song.
Amazing. ....You did the song justice and your Luganda is on point
Yes, we do get you. Thank you guys. Awangaale Ssaabasajja Kabaka Empologoma Ya Buganda.
