Kampala Artist Advocates for Government Funding of Ugandan Music Ugandan artist Bad Sparksy recently called for government funding to support the international promotion of Ugandan music. During an interview on NRG Radio 106.5FM in Kampala, Sparksy passionately argued for increased investment in the country's musical talent. "In addition to myself," Sparksy stated, "I would like the government to fund Spider MC and Gunna's musical promotion on a worldwide scale." He emphasized the potential for Ugandan music to achieve global recognition with the right support. Sparksy's plea highlights the challenges faced by many talented Ugandan artists who lack the resources for international promotion. His interview offers a compelling case for greater government investment in the arts, potentially boosting Uganda's cultural influence on the world stage. The success of such initiatives could bring economic benefits and enhance Uganda's international profile.
