Mugisha Kamau Kessy

Sitar player and teacher in Mwanza

🇹🇿 Mwanza, Mwanza, Tanzania
Mwanza Lotus Ensemble
1979 to 2004
English

I play sitar and oud. I started in 1979 with a secondhand instrument and a lot of stubbornness. I teach about 11 students a week. Some of them are better than me now, which is the whole point. I'm always reading two books at once. I'm proud of everyone I got to work with.

Instruments or styles

Sitar Oud Tabla

What gifts mean to Mugisha: A gift would go toward new strings, repairs and music for my students.
