Sylvester & Abramz on BoingBoing
My favorite Ugandan hip hop/breakdancing duo made BoingBoing yesterday as part of a post on Diamonds in the Rough, a documentary about Uganda's awesome socially and politically active hip hop scene.
The film has been out for a while, and its director, Brett Mazurek, was profiled in 2006 by UGPulse. The site also has an excellent introduction to East African hip hop (Uganda's at the bottom) and an interview with Sylvester & Abramz, whose song Lemerako is featured in the film's trailer.
