Sheilah Gashumba Blames Ugandan Producers For The Stalling Of Ugandan Music

NBS After 5 co-host, Sheilah Gashumba, has come out to partly blame Ugandan producers for the stalling of Ugandan music.

This whole conversation arose after Nigerian singer Adekunle Gold’s recent sold-out concert at Lugogo Cricket Oval.

Many Ugandan artistes have been complaining about Nigerians stealing their spotlight. This is something however that has been ongoing for quite long. Foreign music genres have dominated the airwaves locally and seem set to continue doing so.

A number of factors are there to blame but according to Sheilah, producers should take the biggest share. She further advised musicians to seek out some low-cost foreign producers.

“I feel for me it has always been the sound and I was about to tweet it. I feel we shouldn’t crucify our artistes as much. It’s high time the producers too start taking the blame. These producers are still doing the whole Kidandali we all realized doesn’t work well out there. So what I would advise these artistes, if they have some money is to seek out some of the foreign producers to elevate their music careers,” said Sheilah.

The topic of Ugandan music not crossing borders is one that has been around for some time. And it’s one that is not likely to vanish soon.

It was the media at some point that was criticized for not giving ample airplay to local music. Then the blame shifted to the fans themselves for supporting foreign music than the local one. Fans and now producers have also shared the blame partly.

From being dominated by Congolese music, American, Jamaican and now Nigerian music, it seems the pattern is far from over.
