Abstract

Abaana Bange Na-Ka-Lwa (My Children Na-Ka-Lwa) is programmatic in nature and reflects two major compositional influences of ethnic Ganda music and Western music. The instrumentation is Western, whereas the style is broadly Ganda because of the extensive use of the pentatonic scale, fixed harmony, polymeters and polyrhythms, metric shifts, the steady and strict metric pulse, and the simulated Ganda music tone colors.
