Gloria's Scoop

For the longest time I had been no fan of Bebe Cool’s – and always wondered why I would fall head over heels for someone so stuck up and belligerent… Musician in recording studio However, only an ill wind blows nobody any good. Somehow I found myself listening and watching almost only Bebe’s music off his Go Mama album and wow, how much he got out of his comfort zone – especially for his pocket’s sake!

Since the dawn of the year, East Africa’s highly fêted music star, Bebe Cool has released about four (4) songs, including  Ndi Wuwo & I Do , a collabo with Rwanda’s Charlie and Nina. 

Until 2007, Uganda’s music industry was stuck in the loop; it had gone fusty and bland, with the outmoded 1990s revolutionaries [Bebe Cool, Jose Chameleon and Bobi Wine] controlling the grip. By the time  Radio and Weasel finally showed up, it was long overdue...  RIP: Mowzey Radio It all started with the famous  Nakudata , a collaboration with Omulangira Ssuna [who also was the producer of the record]. This track was like the harbinger of all the good things that would soon happen in Uganda’s music industry.
