The British Library The British Library Dance song C0023X0038XX-16 C23/38 Item note: Kiganda baakisimba dance song. This was Cooke's first return visit to Uganda since 1968. Many of the informants were old friends who had survived 19 years of political turmoil and war. Conditions in southern Uganda were bad - the infrastructure of the country was in ruins and manufactured goods were in desperately short supply.
