IN THIS VIDEO
we meet Mr. Mwidu and members of his community from Eastern Uganda to learn about the importance of harvest songs. Mr. Mwidu is one of the leaders of TAPAC-Uganda
(http://www.tapac-uganda.com), a Ugandan performance and educational organization that teaches music, dance and cultural performances as a way to enable youth to break the cycle of poverty.

For all time, whenever people performed the rhythmic, repetitive tasks of work, they sang songs to
carry them through. Over the ages, and especially since the dawn of factories and other industrial tasks, workers in all jobs have developed "work songs" that match their rhythms of their labor. There are boating songs, building songs, ditch digging songs and more. There are also songs about work -- music about picking crops, narratives of life in the mines. By extension, there are songs of toil that are metaphors for eternal struggle – prison songs, songs sung by slaves -- and union/labor songs that remind us how we can organize, fighting together for a
better world.
