Musical Healing in Uganda

Abaho Gift Conrad:
I was born in 1992 in Gasabo Rwanda from where the 1994 Rwandan genocide emerged.

At a tender age of one and a half, all my parents and relatives were butchered. I don’t actually know how I survived the machetes.

I wish all the underprivileged children of the world could go to sleep without empty stomachs and gun shots.

I will never rest until my fellow underprivileged people have food, medicine and hope.

I am intending, with the support of Musical Ambassadors of Peace, to organize a first event of over 200 Refugees to present indigenous music, dance and song and restore hope and peace among different groups. These groups include Somali, Congolese, Eritrean, Burundians and Sudanese. The first event will be coordinated within Rwamwanja Refugee camp and will be designed to continue on either a Quarterly or Monthly basis. These events will build long term relationships between the different refugee communities. These intergroup representations would bring in a feeling of belongingness, togetherness and unity among refugees.

Message From Theo A.H.:

During this time of staying at home music can be our magic carpet, our mode of travel. We are pressing your inbox to remind you of music’s under-appreciated power. We know you are aware, but how aware? Please play some music today that reminds you of your favorite people, places, and experiences.

Is it just me, or are we in some way defined by the music we love?

Music is made of many strains, including quite a few of a darker hew. Along with the joy must come at least some sorrow. We do not need to be reminded of the compounding of hardships so many in this human family are experiencing. But music helps us get through it.

This article describes singing groups for mothers of infants and a study on the effect on post-natal depression. It’s encouraging to see musical healing being researched on such a scale, and we expect this research to strengthen the case for our work.

Thank you for supporting us and helping get us this far. Please consider supporting our mission to provide musical healing experiences to people affected by conflict around the world again.
Stay safe, Theo A.H.
