The Oceanside Public Library and the Friends of the Oceanside Public Library are excited to kick-off the Spring World Music Series with African music by Ugandan songstress Omega. Not only does this East African Diva burst on the world music scene with a unique name, but she also blazons into the industry with a fantastic new sound.
Omega Bugembe Okello, who just goes by the name Omega, possesses a powerful vocal range and the international ability of singing in various languages and dialects. At the age of four, Omega began her music career as one of the first and youngest members of the African Children’s Choir, a group that toured the world to raise awareness of the plight of war-torn Uganda. The songstress who hails from Uganda has been described as "having a voice that touches the soul." Her 2008 album, Kiwomera Emmeeme, which in Luganda means "it is sweet to the soul", is an explosion of ethnic and western sounds. This album is currently nominated for an NAACP Image Award in the category of Outstanding World Music Album.
