By the way, if you study the trends, you will realize that Ugandan music is beginning to find its bearing. It’s been an evolution. We’ve tried different styles. We’ve borrowed from other countries. We even sang some pidgin.
But after Njogereza, after Kabulengane, after Baala, after Omulembe, you must begin to see the pattern. And start plotting the curve.
We are slowly but surely developing a distinct Ugandan sound. It is one that has gone through the prism of various integrations and out has come something danceable, something unique, something modern yet very much in touch with who we are, what we stand for. Something we can be proud to call Ugandan.
It is not that artistes are copying each other, it’s just the natural route that the music couldn’t avoid but follow. It’s been a work in progress, getting refined one song at a time. We are getting there.
Is that the thing they call Baxragga? Bakisimba combined with some Ragga?
