Toronto – Now something heartwarming. Here is a video of Gulu Widows Group of Uganda singing Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zero‘s Home. Apparently, they raised some money for them at the release party of their excellent album Up From Below. In appreciation of helping them sustain their community, the ladies sang the chorus to the song. I wonder if this is the only English they know.

In other Africa music news, congratulations to K’Naan for having his song Wavin’ Flag chosen as the anthem of World Cup 2010. We listened to his latest album Troubadour on a road trip to Ottawa two weekends ago and it was quite good.
