Katokye brings the sound world of Western Uganda to Augsburg
On Thursday, July 2, 2026, the kiosk at the Lechhausen swimming pool will transform into a special place for a musical experience between tradition, improvisation, and intense audience atmosphere. Katokye represents a voice deeply rooted in the songs of the Banyankore and promises an evening full of atmosphere with trance-like sound flows.

An evening of rare character
John Katokye has honed his art over decades as a shepherd and singer. His music is based on ekyeshongoro, an improvised form of singing where short poetic lines, harmony, and meditative repetition come together. This very blend makes the performance in Augsburg more than a concert: it will be an intense event experience with a strong cultural profile.

The special place: Lechhausen swimming pool
The Lechhausen swimming pool on Lechhauser Straße 34 is one of the notable places in the eastern part of Augsburg. Entry to the pool is generally free, and there is a kiosk, sunbathing area, and an unheated swimming pool on the premises. For the event evening, an unusual ambiance opens up that combines summer, water, and live music. According to the City of Augsburg, the swimming pool is closed until June 2026; therefore, the performance takes place after this period and fits into the summer season.

Music that slows down and captivates
Katokye's singing is not a loud spectacle but a concentrated listening experience. The songs tell of landscapes, history, family, and cattle farming in Western Uganda. This creates a program that demands attention and at the same time rewards with an unusual depth. For visitors interested in world music, performance, and authentic cultural work, this evening offers a rare opportunity. ([augsburg-city.de](https://www.augsburg-city.de/events/56763-katokye/))
