About

Samuel Rujeru is a Ugandan vocalist from the cattle-herding region of southwestern Uganda, where the a cappella styles ekyevugo and ekyeshongoro have deep roots. He performs as the longtime partner of John Katokye, and together they released an album on Nyege Nyege Tapes. Their singing draws on local myth and history, with cattle at the centre as symbols of beauty and communal life.
