Ojok Okello attends to a client at a small, subsidized market he opened in Okere, when others shut down due to the country s COVID-19 lockdown.
First steps
After that first visit in 2013, Mr. Okello spent several years bouncing between Uganda – where he worked for international NGOs like War Child UK and the Konrad Adenauer Foundation – and England, where he earned a second master’s at the London School of Economics and worked as a consultant for Christian Aid. But the poverty of his dad’s village nagged at him.
So in 2018 he returned, and began asking locals what their most pressing challenges were. At the time, the nearest school was 2 1/2 miles away, and had few teachers or books. So Mr. Okello mustered his savings and in 2019 began building a small kindergarten on a plot of land his extended family had given him.
Arctic Monkeys are known for their live performances and frontman Alex Turner’s awkward yet alluring stage presence. This album captured several of the Arctic Monkeys live show staples like the “Crying Lightning” guitar solo, the suspenseful six-minute version of “R U Mine?” and iconic one liners from Turner such as “don’t believe the hype” and “I’ve got just one question for you” as they lead into “R U Mine?”
Some of the best moments on the album are during the bridges of “505” and “Do Me a Favour.” Turner captivates the audience with slowed and stripped-down vocals before the full band explodes in with lively guitars and heavy drums to close out the songs. During each song on the album, the band builds upon the already strong studio version to create a remarkable listening experience. The only thing I thought the album needed was more bass guitar. Some of the most recognizable bass lines were mixed so low that you could barely hear them.
