HE first crooned But We Don’t Care, We Don’t Mind to express dissatisfaction with the way the public never cared about the sufferings of people in the war-ravaged north, writes Gilbert Mwijuke.

Loketo Lee’s claim to fame was his success in Karate sport, where he holds medals.
And he has now pulled yet another release titled But Now We Care, We Mind.
“I hope this is a much better one and I am confident I will win at PAM Awards this time,” says the 27-year-old who missed out on last year’s PAM Award for the Best Northern Region Artiste. The title track, But Now We Care, We Mind is already receiving good rotation on local FM radio stations like. Loketo has already shot its follow up video, which will be launched next week during the Late Show programme on WBS TV. The video will also be showing on East Africa TV soon.

It was shot from Gulu by Ayen of Fame Videos and it features the Gulu peace team.
In But Now We Care, We Mind, Loketo appreciates the peacemakers, who are negotiating with the notorious Joseph Kony’s Lords Resistence Army (LRA) to bring peace to Northern Uganda.

New-kid-on-the-block, Sweet Kid lends his wide vocal range to one of the songs, Min Anyaka, which is sung in Luganda and English. In Bigombe Wapoyo Yele, Loketo appreciates Betty Bigombe, the chief government peace negotiator.

Other songs on the album include What To Do, Min Anyaka (what to do, mother of the girl), Amaro Arua (I like Arua), Adok Gang (I am going back home) and Bigombe Wapoyo Yele (Bigombe thank you a lot). Recording of five of the six is already completed. Loketo’s six-track album features efforts of Pastor George Okudi and Shadrack of AK Communications.
