Ensi Nkore

Ensi Nkore is the official anthem of the Nkore Kingdom. Translated as "Our Land Nkore", the song is being sung whenever the Kingdom functions are about to begin.

However, the Kingdom is not yet officially restored. Various Kingdom activists and royalties sing this song before the official ceremonies. Notable among them is the Nkore Activist Group which has an established office on Kamukuzi hill, at Mugaba House Mbarara, Uganda.

Anthem Lyrics

The song lyrics praise the beauty of the land of Nkore, the hills, valleys and plains as it describes the land as Kaaro Karungi.
