General Paulino Misaka is one of the most influential South Sudanese singers who contributed to the South Sudanese music movement in the 90s and beyond and continues to contribute in abundance to this day.

Paulino was born in the city of Juba in February 1957. He was given the name "Lado" because he is the third male in the family and in Bari tribes and Bari speaking tribes of Central Equatoria, males and females have names according to the family order. 
He gained the name Paulino later when he was baptized in the church. He was famously known for this name through his art career, although his family continued to call him Lado. His art name is “General”. As he explains: "In Khartoum, some friends suggested the name of “the general” to use as my artistic name. At
first I refused because I did not like it, but I accepted it after their insistence." Adding “many would assume that “General” is the military rank. But what is meant here -according to the explanation of my friends- is the word that means “wide-ranging”. It is meant that the work I do with the members of my band is not targeting a particular tribe or a party, but it is for everyone, it is general.”
