Originating from Gulu in northern Uganda, Otim Alpha offers a musical experience that transcends the conventional. His deep and captivating voice, combined with the delicate melodies of the adungu and nganga —instruments he crafts himself—creates a unique sonic universe. His music, known as “acholitronix,” blends Afrofuturist rhythms with reinterpretations of traditional Ugandan songs, such as Acholi and Larakaraka. This fusion results in a polyrhythmic, high-energy experience perfect for the dance floor, while his acoustic compositions highlight a moving, expressive beauty. In his latest work with Africa Express, Otim Alpha also explores rap, sharing his experiences and challenges in Uganda. An exceptional artist who leaves an indelible mark on all who encounter him.
