It amazes me sometimes how we continue to produce high quality musicians despite the pernicious influence of the reality TV music on our charts. Michael Kiwanuka is British-born of Ugandan descent, his family fleeing the tyranny of Idi Amin in the 1970s. He plays a soulful blues with a lot of respect to those who have gone before but is definitely his own man. Definitely one to watch for 2012, Kiwanuka is yet another musician proving that we can still make great music.
