Recordist's notes

An early morning stroll among the vegetable stalls of busy Nakasero Market… it’s hard to make a way through the crowd; many traders display their merchandise on plastic sheets on the floor, man carrying heavy crates and sacks are rushing and pushing their way through… A playlist of recordings in clips from Kampala, “Emboozi ya Kampala”, is archived at: http://www.archive.org/details/Emboozy_ya_Kampala Also remixed in a “road movie” at : http://youtu.be/7DGNPNNcvGM
