Internationally acclaimed Ugandan musician Geoffrey Oryema is preparing to return home after living in exile in France for 39 years. Mr Oryema left Uganda in 1977 at the age of 24 and at the height of Idi Amin's power. He was smuggled across the Ugandan border in the trunk of a car after the death of his father who was a cabinet minister. He speaks to Focus on Africa's Paul Bakibinga.
