In Luganda, there is a saying that goes as “Ebidawo tebyenkanankana”, a phrase to which I and a few others out there definitely agree with.
Even though most believe that Bobi Wine, Jose Chameleone, and Bebe Cool are best thing to have happened to the Ugandan music industry over 25 years ago, I personally believe they haven’t matched the level of some great artists who passed away despite their great contribution to arts.
