"I think our fans should learn to love local musicians without judging them too much, while still loving their music. Because Ugandan singers work hard. Their music is really good. But sometimes, our fans just don't pay attention to the music. You hear them praising someone else, and when a local musician puts out a great song, they don't notice, Kasita said at the release party for her 10-track album.
"So, I think our fans should learn to love the artists. Because it all begins at home. "When they love us, everyone else will love us, too, because those Nigerians are so loved by their own people that they lift them up," she said. "But when you put out a new album in Uganda, they don't talk about it or they talk about something bad about it. Even Nigerians criticize. Ugandans don't pay attention. They want to criticize you. They don't love us as much as they should. Things change over time. Jamaicans used to put on shows in Uganda all the time, but now Nigerians do. We will have Ugandans one day."
On her album, Afropop star Eddy Kenzo, who has a different point of view, was a big part.
"You can't make someone hear a certain song. Music feeds your ears. "No one can like a bad song," said the 32-year-old singer of "Sitya Loss." "There is a reason why people like a song. You can't get people to do what you want with music. So, even if an artist gets a lot of attention and becomes well-known, people will still have different tastes in their music.
Kenzo thinks there should be a reason for bringing an artist to perform in a certain country.
"I've been to Mali, Benin, Gabon, Burkina Faso, Nigeria, Equatorial Guinea, and Colombia. How did I get to all of those places? "How?" he asked again. "Sometimes artists are loved everywhere in the world." The album was called "Limited Edition," and Feffe Bussi, Arrow Bwoy, Fik Fameica, and Brian Weiyz, Dj Maker, all worked on it with them.
Kasita, whose 2018 single "Yaka" broke through in the music industry, says collaborations are very important for growth in the music business. We want to show the rest of the world that we are all working together. "When I feature another artist, I reach their audience," she said. "I promise that I will work very, very hard to promote my album... I want everyone with an album to know that it is possible. because Azawi gave me ideas. She worked on her album and promoted it, and it did well in the market. It means that anyone can do it. She said, "If you work hard."
The album has eleven songs: "Muhammad Ali," "You," "Chekecha," "Imagine," "Nze Amulina," "Tubidemu," "Body Body," "Mbeelamu," "One Life," "Nywamu (Party Anthem)," and "Wabula."
