Tae-kwondo champ releases music video
Loketo Lee Oneka is a man who knows what he wants. When he first suggested that he wanted to get into music, the 26-year-old East and Central Africa Tae-kwon-do champion with a record eight international medals was booed by his peers. But Lee, with the help of Eddie Yawe’s Dream Studio in Kamwokya and the Firebase passé proved sceptics wrong with a full album. His flagship single But We Don’t Care We Don’t Mind about the plight of the people in Acholi, his homeland,, received more publicity for the mockery it generated than artistic distinction. But Loketo has made good on his promise to release a video for the single. Recently, he launched the video on WBS TV’s African Rhythms.Judging from the number of Acholi who called in to thank him on a job well done, it is clear he struck a cord.
