Traditional music from different regions of Uganda

Uganda is divided into four regions – Central, Northern, Eastern and Western. Each region has distinct traditional music as per the tribes and ethnicities. Uganda's nationalities are diverse and spread evenly throughout the country. Native music in Uganda, as in most African regions, is mainly functional. This means that most music and music activities usually have specific functions related to specific events such as marriage, initiation, royal festivals, harvests and war among others. The music is performed by skilled tribesmen and women performing folk songs and traditional dances with various traditional instruments.

Popular music

Because of Uganda's turbulent political history, there was never enough time for there to be a thriving pop music industry until relative peace was restored in the late 1980s. By then, Philly Lutaaya, Afrigo Band, and Elly Wamala were among the few Ugandan acts to have had mainstream music success. Jimmy Katumba and his music group the Ebonies were also popular at this time, especially towards the 1990s. Musicians like, Carol Nakimera, Kezia Nambi, Fred Maiso, Kads Band, Rasta Rob, Menton Summer were on top of the Ugandan music game between 1990 and 1997. Artists such as Livingstone Kasozi, Herman Basudde and Paulo Kafeero also played a great role in bringing live music near to the fans. According to popular Ugandan music promoter DJ Erycom, in the year 1998, Uganda experienced the biggest change musically, due to musician Red Banton (the Five star general) who rose to fame with his hit song "Noonya Money" that played countrywide.
