Ogwang Clipper: “In this song I ask why people chase bastard children from their land. Where do you want them to go and stay? These children can help our society. They are the same as our brothers and sisters. This area is very large.”

Ogwang Clipper plays ‘nanga’, a traditional instrument with seven nylon strings in a wooden box. Clipper is one of the most experienced and respected nanga players in northern Uganda. He performs with his female counterpart on vocals and his dancers with whistle and bells. Even his broken foot in plaster didn’t keep Clipper from coming all the way from his village to Kitgum town to perform this song.
