The Ugandan singer in exile for 40 years: 'My guitar is my greatest weapon'
Geoffrey Oryema says writing music helped him to deal with the assassination of his father, which forced him to flee his homeland. His music addresses issues like the kidnapping of children by the Lord's Resistance Army. He has lived in exile in Paris for nearly 40 years and now for the first time he's returning home to perform in Kampala.
