“It’s not a mere claim that Omalugo is an iconic thought and observations carefully expressed in this masterpiece. It is an anticipated, a deliberate, and a focused attempt towards making the reader think and ideologically reason like the human we supposed we are. Remove the humanity in us, we become practically like every other wild animal known to man. ‘Ede’ in Omalugo depicts the like of some born into fragmented and unbargained circumstance, who suffer not because of the fault of theirs but for wickedness in man. ‘Agbomma’ can be literally likened to ordinary beasts, people full of hate, jealousy, and greed, just for the sake of it, tribe that appropriate superiority to themselves. Omalugo is a knowledge-based book, deliberately encrypted to unlock the mental potentials in us. This hall isn’t designed for the lazy mind “for they have eyes but couldn’t see, and ears but couldn’t hear,” (Jeremiah 5:21). Knowledge is a cosmic phenomenon. It transcends sociopolitical, racial, cultural, and religious boundaries. Love, justice, and equity are natural characteristics of God we claim we have. But any spirituality, knowledge, or education that is void of the aforementioned is a mere fantasy. Truth has been chemically adulterated, morphologically mutilated, and etymologically raped or abused. This actuates the unassailable difficulty in understanding who we are amid the ubiquitous. Suffice it to say, the nature is ever willing for the minds that are sincerely willing to know. I wish you understand as you read. Success always knock at the door of those who do ask questions, who do think, and who are willing to be the change so wished.”

How does a peoples’ music reflect their history, their occupations, cultural beliefs and values? These are the core questions that this book addresses in rela-tion to the Aawambo people of Namibia. The author brings to the fore the nuanced views of different people, describing their personal musical experiences – past as well as present. This is the first time that the music and stories of contemporary Namibian musicians is shared alongside those of the elderly. Similarly, it is the first time that some of the traditional Aawambo dances are analysed and described, abundantly illustrated with colourful photographs and several songs. Based on years of personal research, this book will appeal to research scholars, students and other interested readers alike, since its style is accessible but detailed, personal yet objective.
