Songs from Tanzania's island of albinos


Wagulu is a resident of Ukerewe Island in the middle of Lake Victoria, in the north of the country. Brennan, a Grammy-winning world music producer, and his wife, filmmaker Marilena Delli, visited Ukerewe in collaboration with Standing Voice. His diverse ensemble, now called the Tanzania Albinism Collective, sang mostly in Swahili, but also local dialects, which remain well-spoken on the island. An event, if not a process, on the horizon for the Tanzania Albinism Collective's is their first gig at Womad Festival in England, late July. "Here we are on the stage," sings Thereza Phinias, "Tanzania Albinism Collective members, / Far across the ocean, / we are shaken by the waves."
