Kintu

By: Jennifer Nansubuga Makumbi

Narrated by: Kalungi Ssebandeke

In this epic tale of fate, fortune and legacy, Jennifer Makumbi vibrantly brings to life this corner of Africa and this colourful family as she reimagines the history of Uganda through the cursed bloodline of the Kintu clan.

The year is 1750. Kintu Kidda sets out for the capital to pledge allegiance to the new leader of the Buganda kingdom. Along the way he unleashes a curse that will plague his family for generations. Blending oral tradition, myth, folktale and history, Makumbi weaves together the stories of Kintu’s descendants as they seek to break free from the burden of their past to produce a majestic tale of clan and country – a modern classic.

A classic

Beautiful story, authentic narration! Makumbi demonstrates a keen grasp on spirituality and socio-economic gains and losses in modern Africa through this family’s story.

Exceptional!

Very interesting story telling. The current generation can always look to this for those nostalgic stories by our Jjajjas.
The narrator did excellently to create conversations and the intonation to show different demeanors.

Very good piece of work.
