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.

After a few weeks break from conflicts and dubious ways, the heavy weight doctor is once again back in his old school fashion. Chameleone whose fighting list is endless was last Tuesday involved in a very serious and bloody direct confront with the Goodlife crew.
All this transpired at club silk and as usually our unstoppable hand was there to present to you every little beat of what actually brought this bloody and technical confrontation. According to the Goodlife, serious problems with Chameleone began last week when Chameleone punished one Frank brother to Moses Radio for disrespect. However according to the heavy weight doctor, the charge for beating up Frank was imposed on AK47 but later twisted making Chameleone the primary suspect. On Tuesday night, the Goodlife crew visited club silk and here they met Jose chameleone. PLEASE CLICK HERE FOR DETAILS
