“There was a day in the Army, a senior officer came to our company and started calling some names of which mine was part of. I was so scared and confused upon hearing my name because I thought we were going to be punished.

“We were asked to march to a place called ‘B’ company and upon getting there, they told us to go inside a hall where we saw an array of musical instruments. We were instructed to pick the instrument each of us can play but I was left confused because I don’t know how to play any musical instrument. Suddenly my attention was caught by a strange flute. I tried my best to play it but I was unable to do so but I was assisted by a soldier who saw me struggling with the flute.

“After some time, they started teaching us music in a class with a blackboard and we were writing notes. It was as if we were in school and that was how we were taught the rhythm of music,” he said.
