Sir Mathias Walukagga, born in January 1975 in the Masaka district of Uganda, stands as a cornerstone of the Kadongo Kamu music tradition, renowned for his poignant and socially charged lyrics. Growing up in Kinyerere Village, Walukagga was inspired early by his vibrant cultural surroundings. His music career launched into the national spotlight in the early 2000s with tracks like "Abankusere," "Namboole," and "Omukisa Omudagala," instantly resonating due to their sharp social and political commentary.
As an adept lyricist, Walukagga's discography—spanning over 20 albums, including notable songs like "Parliament Yaffe" and "Referee"—delivers powerful narratives on justice, tradition, and societal issues. His contributions to music and community were acknowledged with the title 'Sir' by the Kabaka of Buganda in 2013, affirming his influence beyond the arts.
