The Revolution of Ugandan Music 2nd Edition...
The last time... I wrote something about this topic... I promised you that Hipipo.com will elite you more about people in the past who have made a great contribution to the development of music in Uganda, some till today, never get acknowledged in anyway.
In our previous edition, we talked about the great contribution of Philly Bongole Lutaaya (RIP) to the Uganda music industry. How he commanded a whole new path/ genre of music in Uganda. And as for today we continue to know some of the other individuals who too have played a significant role in the industry. I will take you back to the late 80s, when Pop, Soul , RnB, rap/hip-hop, reggae/dancehall ragga music culture, was starting to catch up in the discos/night clubs and even the few media houses that existed then. Back then the only way to watch or play urban music, was with either having a VCR player in your living room, or the few people who owned LP players and a majority of the people would only own cassettes, it was the only alternative way, one would purchase or even own urban music, so many young people in sub Sahara Africa then were starting to idolize the American culture, with the mightyness of people like Madonna, Michael Jackson, Steve wonder, Linoel Richie and all those who fell in the category of pop culture, Uganda was not left out.
LIMIT X came with a new sound, they fused English, Swahili, luganda, Zulu and many more languages in their songs. They had lived in the UK for a while, singing in church like they did in Uganda, They quickly became one of the most prominent gospel music groups in the U.K. In 1992, LIMIT X won the Club 291 contest. Which was the British version of the New York Apollo Contest. In the same year, they won the award for "Best British New Artist" at the D.M.I. European Music Awards (then equivalent to the American Dove Awards). In addition, their first CD, Unashamed made its way into Britain's Top Ten Recommended Gospel Albums Charts.

The Revolution Of Ugandan Music. 1st Edition
IF you live in the present day, you would only give credit to the big names like Chameleone, Bobiwine and all these people who do a hit or two and drive big cars and they are always in your favorite hung out spots, but there’s no way I was going to let you jam without knowing where it all came from.
Many years ago in the late 80s. There came a new sound in the Ugandan music scene, at a time when people were only used, to the local kandogo kamu sounds and a few who spent time to go listen to the sounds of bands that played then, here came a young man in his 30s, who with little info we are told had left Uganda in the 70s, due to political unrest, that was caused by then president Idi Amin, this man had lived in Congo then Zaire for sometime where he played with some Congolese bands, before he left and lived in Sweden. The man who grew up loving the Beatle’s music that had him even name one of his children John Lennon, one of the group members from the legendary group. HIPIPO.COM . PLEASE CLICK HERE FOR DETAILS
