Ennanga Vision - Kampala Auto Chase (Official Video)

"I was invited to do an artist residency by a group of people based in Kampala (Uganda) who run a film school, the Nyege Nyege festival and also release music as Nyege Nyege Tapes. Having expressed an interest in trying to amass as much visual material as possible to coincide with the Ennanga Vision album release, a hook up with legendary independant film company Wakaliwood was suggested. We turned up at their HQ without any real plan for a narrative and were met warmly by film director Isaac Nabwana and his crew. I was taken around their studio, outdoor filming area and prop room. This incredible hub of creativity was built up using very little resources - machine guns, masks, a helicopter and bizarre costumes including a size 25 pair of rubber wellies and several gas masks. We proceeded to mess around with the cheap plastic masks I had brought from the UK, doing some lip-syncing to the music. It was then suggested by Issac that we tried doing a classic Wakaliwood "cannibal scene" where I would be chased, captured and eaten....well, I couldn't back down. In the exhausting heat I ended up being smothered in pigs' intestines from the local butchers and squirted in fake blood. I guess the dark, moody, choppy, techno feel of the piece of music kind of suited this bizzare scenario so...we just went with it. And now, I have been officially inducted into the Wakaliwood 'Hall of Fame', being one of a select group of travellers who have 'died' on set - and this footage will no doubt be reappearing in one of their many zombie films."
