Did you know that Uganda is one of the top countries that produce quality music in Africa? Yes, that’s a fact, at least from my point of view. The Ugandan music industry has blessed us with some of the most timeless, heartwarming, and nostalgic musical albums and records that will forever leave a longing sensation in our hearts.
From kadongo kamu legends like Paul Kaffero, and Eily Wamala to rap and top-notch music, we are all spirits of different tastes, and each of us prefers a certain type and quality of music. 2023 was truly a visionary year, the music was nice but still something was missing, a legend was missing, a very talented individual who had a way of getting to everyone’s heart even his haters, and I think we all have an idea of whom I’m talking about.
The missing of a loved one, one of the greatest musicians to ever live in the country of Uganda, a talented and visionary individual in all aspects, a songwriter to the core, one who could even make the simplest of words turn into a hit, the one and only Mowzey Radio. Mowzey Radio passed away on February 1st, 2018, at the age of 33, and it was a heartbreaking moment for all of us.
Honestly, I don’t know if we will ever get a musician of such caliber and talent. I just want to say this to Mowzey Radio: thank you for giving us the best music that made happy memories and moments in our lives, your work and contribution to the music industry will forever leave a mark on Uganda’s music history.
So you may ask me a question, why am I bringing back Mowzey Radio? Well, that’s a good question. Remember when I told you that 2023 was a good year but something was missing? That missing puzzle was Mowzey Radio. In 2024, the release of one of the most trending songs, “Masavu” by Azawi ft. Mowzey Radio. Now wait, what’s going on here? Mowzey Radio is dead, how can he come back to life and bring us yet another masterpiece?
It is rumored from different sources that Mowzey Radio left over 30 unrecorded songs, one of them being “Masavu”. The song wasn’t produced yet, and he just left bits of his voice singing this song, maybe it was in rehearsals.
Thanks to the efforts and talent of Azawi and other renowned producers, they have managed to bring back Mowzey to life. Guys, in 6 years, we can at least hear the voice of Mowzey Radio so clearly. I mean, I will admit that it’s a bit saddening that he isn’t here, but at least we will always have him in our hearts.
