Opira sings in Acholi-language and plays on a traditional Ugandan instrument called ‘Adungu’. He made this acoustic instrument into an electrical one. With some built-in pickups (out of an old radio) powered by batteries and two Sony HiFi speakers, he is good to go!

This video clip contains an interview with Opira. He talks about his life, his song ‘Living in the camp’ and about his special adungu. If you like his music, you should see this video too!
