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
