Whereas the court music of the kingdom of Buganda (Uganda) is on the verge of oblivion, some remaining royal musicians are brought together to sound their instruments once again. Exploring the balance between memory and oblivion, BUGANDA ROYAL MUSIC REVIVAL addresses the delicate question of the continuity of a century-old tradition.
