YOUR MUSIC YOUR VOICE

In October 2017, 14 Hip Hop musicians from the accross the African continent, Uganda and Germany came together in Kampala for a project about music and activism. The project lasted five days and included a workshop, a panel discussion a concert and a studio recording session. The visiting musicians had the chance to visit Newzbeat Uganda and Break Dance Project Uganda whereas the Ugandans had the rare chance to meet outstanding musicians and activists from West Africa such as Monza from Mauretania and Gunman Xuman from Senegal as well as other fellows from Zimbabwe (Outspoken),Tanzania (Nash Mc), Kenya (Juma), Rwanda (Eric 1Key) and Germany (Megaloh and Ghanaian Stallion). The two collaborative songs that emerged from the project reflect the great positive energy of the group and bear the message that music has to be more than entertainment.
