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.
