Journey
Koloba Munnassingo Lutte Lukyamuzi, known on stage as Kolobba Ow’amasanda, is a distinguished performer within Uganda's Kadongo Kamu genre. Since the late 1980s, Kolobba has harnessed his music as a vehicle for social change, employing Uganda’s rich tradition of storytelling to engage and educate his audience. His notable hit “Amasanda Ga Ffene” illustrates this perfectly, where metaphors like 'amasanda' (snacks) and 'fene' (jackfruit) serve as symbols to discuss broader societal issues, such as promoting safe practices and education. Despite his humble origins, Kolobba's lyrically profound and entertaining tracks have left an indelible mark on listeners, primarily through local radio and informal music circles. While he hasn't garnered significant awards, his influence endures, resonating with those searching for a deep cultural connection within Uganda's music traditions.
