SAMUEL NALANGIRA

A native of Uganda, East Africa; Samuel Nalangira is a folk/world musician, dancer and choreographer who has been performing since his childhood and detaching since the age of 15.  He has toured across Europe, United States, Canada, and Asia performing and leading workshops in schools, universities, festivals and community centers.

He is a multi-instrumentalist and a master at many traditional instruments including the Adungu from northern Uganda, Akogo from eastern Uganda, Endingidi, percussion and Ngoni.  He has also developed a unique approach and personal techniques on most of these instruments and, in combination with a soaring voice, his music carries a true identity of the sub Saharan skies.

In 2018, with children from Uganda, Samuel choreographed and led the DANCE OF HOPE production across the United States with featured performances at LEAF festival NC and Lotus Blossoms, IN.  Since then, Samuel has been featured in many music festivals, concerts and schools for performances and workshops.
