UGANDA: George Wilberforce Kakoma (July 27, 1923 – April 8, 2012) was the composer of Uganda’s national anthem, "Oh Uganda, Land of Beauty".

Kakoma was a graduate of Trinity College of Music.

Prior to Uganda's independence in October 1962, three sub-committees were established to deal with Uganda’s national symbols. The sub-committee for the creation of a national anthem encouraged Ugandans to submit their proposals.

"The compositions had to be short, original, solemn, praising and looking forward to the future. They had to be harmonised in the usual four parts-soprano, alto, tenor and bass," said Kakoma in an interview.

In July 1962, the committee chose Kakoma's composition. It had taken him a day to compose the music and lyrics for Oh Uganda, Land of Beauty. The short length of the work (it is only nine measures in length, ONE OF THE SHORTEST NATIONAL ANTHEMS IN THE WORLD) was one of the biggest advantages it had in being selected.

Kakoma died on April 8, 2012 in Kampala, aged 89. He had been ill since February 2011.

Remember Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy infamously saying Spain is not Uganda? Well, looks like the 2012 battle has just been re-ignited by President Yoweri Museveni who now says he wonders why tourists go to Spain, because there is nothing to see. Back then, Spain wanted a bailout, a $125B…
