In this episode of Ugandan Art Speaks Out, we have the privilege of hosting the incredibly talented Ssebo Lule, also known as Lule Raymond. A Muganda hailing from Kyaggwe in Mukono district, Ssebo Lule is not only a Luganda performance poet but also an author, actor, and recording artist. Join us as he takes us on a journey through his personal story, detailing the evolution of his artistry from the classrooms of Old Kampala SSS to the stages of renowned festivals like Bayimba and Writivism.

Ssebo Lule shares the inspiration behind his powerful poetry, exploring the roots of his creativity and the influences that sparked his passion. From his debut poetry collection, Ogenda wa?, to his recent foray into children's poetry and rap, Lule's artistic journey is a testament to the richness of Ugandan culture expressed through the beauty of Luganda.

As a trailblazer in Luganda poetry, Ssebo Lule has not only performed in various prestigious venues and festivals but has also imparted his knowledge through workshops, including the groundbreaking Babishai Luganda Poetry Workshop. Discover the unique style of his performances, shaped by the influence of poets like Xenson, and delve into the thematic richness of his work, particularly his upcoming poetry pamphlet capturing the challenges of the 2021 elections.

Join us for an inspiring conversation filled with laughter, introspection, and a celebration of Luganda literature as Ssebo Lule shares his perspectives on identity, culture, and the power of words.
