Ugandan Musicians Protest Lack of Authenticity in Popular Album

Kampala, Uganda – June 15, 2025 – Four young musicians in Uganda are voicing their concerns about the lack of authenticity in the music industry. Their frustrations center around a popular album, which they believe is overshadowing their own work. "The album is not original; there's no authenticity in it," one of the musicians stated. They also highlighted the difficulties of music distribution, a common challenge for many artists in the region. Despite the challenges, their passion for music remains strong, and they are determined to continue creating their own unique sound. This situation underscores the broader issues faced by many independent artists globally, particularly in developing nations, who struggle to compete with larger, more established players.
