Geographically, Uganda is divided into four main regions: Central Uganda, Northern Uganda, Eastern Uganda and Western Uganda. Each region has significantly distinct traditional music as per the tribes and ethnicities that belong to those specific geographical locations.

Traditional folk music in Uganda is mainly functional. This signifies that music has a very specific role in cultural and religious activities and events, such as marriage, initiation, royal festivals, harvests and wars. This music is usually performed by skilled tribesmen and women who not only play various traditional musical instruments, but also sing folk songs and perform traditional dances.

It is hence very understandable that Seremba made this dramaturgical decision to integrate this traditional value to his oeuvre.
