Madina Nalwanga

The 5th prestigious HiPipo Music Awards will honor Madina Nalwanga with the award of “Entertainment Showpiece Act of 2016” in recognition and celebration of her role in “Queen of Katwe”, a 2016 American biographical sports drama film directed by Mira Nair and written by William Wheeler starring David Oyelowo, Lupita Nyong’o, and Madina Nalwanga.

“Queen of Katwe” story telling would have fallen short without a befitting actor but the young Madinah acting was superb for a debutant resulting into numerous commendations from movie reviews across the world for Madina Nalwanga the true star of the movie.

The movie also shone a spotlight on the talent that lies untapped as all the other actors were phenomenal albeit Nalwanga’s standing out and thus Nalwanga stays up there, with the big Hollywood stars. The movie also served as a lesson for Ugandan Film makers.

“Madina Nalwanga is the talented young dancer that has turned celebrated Hollywood superstar in her debut act. Courtesy of this accomplishment, The 5th prestigious HiPipo Music Awards will celebrate Madina Nalwanga with The Entertainment Showpiece Act of 2016” noted Innocent Kawooya, CEO HiPipo.
