Seby Ntege is a uniquely charismatic singer and songwriter from the Busoga region of eastern Uganda renowned for producing some of East Africa's best multi-instrumentalists and is himself a master of half a dozen folkloric instruments, including the akogo thumb piano and adungu harp among others. 

Based here in London, Seby is regarded as an ambassador of traditional Ugandan music. In 2018 gathering a multicultural band around him, Seby distilled this journey into a highly autobiographical album that would showcase his virtuosity as a musician. Described by Seby as “a musical memoir of 15 years of living in the UK” the five notes of the album's title references both the five note pentatonic scale in which Ugandan instruments are tuned, and the autobiographical content of the songs. 

Picked up by A World In London's DJ Ritu and championed by BBC Radio 3's Max Reinhardt via BBC Introducing, Five Notes received praise on BBC World Service, Resonance FM and BBC London, leading to live appearances at WOMAD and Latitude festivals and a 10 date UK tour supported by Arts Council England. For this show, Seby and his band will be playing music from his previous album and upcoming EP.
