To analyze the audio production of “Ay Nyarugusu” is to appreciate its intentional rawness. Unlike studio-recorded gospel, the track carries the acoustic signature of its environment—likely recorded with portable equipment in a church building or open-air shelter within the camp. The percussion is not a drum kit but likely ngoma (hand drums) and madimba (log drums), made from salvaged materials. The bass line is hummed or played on a single acoustic guitar. The vocal arrangement is classic SDA East African style: a lead cantor (often a female voice, though the Ulevi choir appears mixed) introduces a line, and the congregation/choir responds in dense, four-part harmony reminiscent of the sabato (Sabbath) hymns.
