Denis Mugagga, a member of the UK-based Ugandan music duo Ganda Boys, has expressed deep frustration over the shortage of help from each the Ugandan authorities and company organizations.
The group, recognized for selling Buganda’s tradition and traditions on the worldwide stage, feels sidelined regardless of their efforts to raise Uganda’s cultural heritage.
Mugagga revealed that their mission to advertise Buganda’s wealthy traditions has typically been met with indifference, even from their very own group.
This indifference, he lamented, contrasts sharply with the eye and sources given to up to date Ugandan musicians like Gravity Omutujju and Lil Pazo, whose music, in response to some, fails to align with Uganda’s cultural values.
We now have been working arduous to carry pleasure to Uganda and Buganda by way of our music, however the largest problem we face is from our personal individuals. They merely don’t see the worth in what we’re doing for our nation and for Buganda.
He singled out a selected marketing campaign in 2022, the place the Ganda Boys sought to create the Ekitiibwa Kya Buganda choir to tour Europe and carry out the Buganda Kingdom anthem.
Nevertheless, the challenge failed attributable to a scarcity of economic backing.
We couldn’t ship this choir to England to carry out, but that Enkudi singer has gone eight or 9 instances. That is the place we’re as a nation.
