Nigerians have the numbers in countries like the US, UK, Germany among other countries. It these people that eventually lead to a huge demand of Nigerian music even in social places like clubs and bars,” he says adding that, “as a result people not of Nigerian decent end up liking the music too since its almost everywhere.”

In some cases, some music observers have attributed the problem to poor production of Ugandan music which in turn leads to Ugandan music not being played on international platforms.

“Much as our production has greatly improved, we still have a challenge of it not meeting internationally recognized standards,” Edward Sendi, a music critic, says.

Some however disagree with this argument saying Ugandan music production has since improved and can be played anywhere in the world.

“Yes poor production was a problem back in the days, but today it isn’t. I think we are at a point where the quality of our music can sell in any part of the world,” says James Propa.

Lack of professional organization and enough money are the other factors that some believed are hindering Ugandan music from crossing to other countries.

Big budgets, according to James Propa, have played a huge role in helping Nigerians pe*****te markets that seemed to be impenetrable in the first place.
Our artists here don’t have enough money to promote their music globally. Sadly, international music labels that have signed some Ugandan artists haven’t done much to propel our artists to greater heights,” he says, adding that, “artists also are not organized enough to make great strides. They need professional help, but are not willing to get it.”

What can be done?

Ali Albahai, CEO of Talent Africa, says Ugandan musicians need to understand the international market and churn out relevant music. In doing so, he says, they need to avoid losing the local audience because at the end of it, at least they’ll always rest assured of support back home.

Why Ugandan music isn’t crossing boundaries.

Uganda is now ranked number three in Africa as far as music and entertainment are concerned. Uganda is home to over 65 different ethnic groups and tribes, and they form the basis of all indigenous music.

At the start of the 21st century, the music industry in Uganda seemed to be on the right path to success. The industry’s up-and-coming stars at the time (Bobi Wine, Jose Chameleone, and Bebe Cool) were rocking airwaves ending Congolese and to a lesser extent western – mostly American music – dominancy.

There seemed to be hope that Ugandan music would make gains beyond the East African region. True to this, Jose Chameleone, often described as the country’s most prominent artist of his generation, made significant gains with songs such as mawoko na mawoko which helped him enter the Zimbabwe, Malawi and Angola, and Democratic Republic of Congo markets. This gave hope to the industry that there was a bright future.

Fast forward, Blue 3*, Radio and Weasel were some of the other artists that tried to cross borders into markets like Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Zambia, Angola, and Malawi before Eddy Kenzo’s BET catapulted him to heights any Ugandan musician would dream of.
Much as Kenzo’s music has crossed borders, his presence on the international market isn’t as felt as his Nigerian counterparts such as Burna Boy.

“Eddy Kenzo is no doubt one of the biggest artists to have come out of Uganda, but his presence at the international isn’t that much felt. His major markets are Nigeria, Ghana, and Sierra Leone among other West African countries,” James Propa, a music analyst, says.

Today, most Ugandan music is consumed locally with only a handful crossing beyond the East African region. But why has it become a problem for Ugandan music to cross borders?

Female dancehall singer Cinderella Sanyu aka Cindy has vowed to bail out the broke renowned local music producer Washington by paying back his royalties.

The Kingherself's response comes following a big outcry from the broke music producer demanding a lion's share from musicians whom he worked with to pay him his royalties.

To be able to achieve that, Washington issued a notice days ago to musicians he recorded songs for to pay him his royalties.

In an exclusive interview, Cindy who is one of the musicians on Washington's demand notice, has then vowed to cooperate and fulfil the latter's demands as an appreciation for being the spark that kick started her music career.

"I don't have any problem with Washington and I want him to get his money. These days we have the screed sheet paper where you pen an agreement with the music producer as far as shares are concerned. So I call upon Washington to come over and we sign papers so that he can get his royalties."- Cindy
