Percussion Discussion Afrika is a Ugandan folk-fusion group founded in 1997 by Uganda’s legendary percussionist Herman Ssewanyana, who is also a founding member of Uganda’s oldest band, Afrigo. 

Shortly after inception, the group quickly gained popularity - first in the capital, then around the country as their music took over the airwaves.  By 1999, Percussion Discussion Afrika was a household name around the county, attracting a diverse range of fans with a sound that hadn't been heard before.

Percussion Discussion Afrika's music is driven by the melodic sound of traditional Buganda drums, accompanied by the Adungu (a traditional harp from northern Uganda) and a fusion of other instruments. Their debut album, "Omubala" was #1 on the internet charts in the UK for a year, and their second album, "Mulamu" took Kampala by storm, lifting the group to the pinnacle and winning a Pan African Music award as the Best Folk Pop group.

Percussion Discussion Afrika's track, "Nakawunde" was the featured soundtrack on the globally acclaimed film; The Last King of Scotland, by legendary actor Forest Whitaker. The group has toured extensively all over Africa, Europe and Middle East, showcasing the diverse sounds of Uganda and east Africa while advancing their unique sound. Their pulsing and interactive performances keep audiences on their feet as they transport us into the pearl of Africa with sensational sounds.
