Matthew Amone Watmon
Matthew was born on the 25th November 1951 in Kipgum district, Awedi village in the north of Uganda. He lived there until 1992, when he moved to Kampala, due to the rebel fighting. He started a small group of dancers, performing Acholi traditional dance. He learnt to play music from his grandfather in his village. His aim is to teach his children (even those that are not his own) the music of his heritage.
