Jackie Akello, who lives in Kampala, unveiled her self-titled eight-track debut album Akello at a live performance at the Pyramids Casino in Kampala last August, an event she dedicated to women and children who have experienced war and instability in Africa.
The songs on Akello address the Lord’s Resistance Army war and are sung in Acholi, Luganda and English. They are: Tam (Thoughts), Yang (Once upon a time), Apwoyo (Thank You), Amari (I Love You), Wan Wilobo (This World), An Amaro Wer (I Like to Sing), Cung (Let’s Stand) and a collaboration with Levixone titled Samanya (I did not know), sung in Luganda.
