In the words of the man behind the Tugende Mukikade (Back to the roots) concept Patrick Kalungi, this year’s edition is going to be bigger and bolder after a 2-year hiatus due to the Covid-19 outbreak that ravaged the world in 2020 and 2021.
Kalungi who had come up with the concept aimed at celebrating legendary artistes who dominated the Ugandan music industry in the early 1970’s, 1980s, 90s and early 2000 and bring back the sweet memories their music had engraved into our hearts.
To him it was a way of recognizing these ‘living legends’ for all the services to the industry and giving them a platform to shine because most times they are forgotten especially in the fast-paced music industry today.
However, after three editions in which the event concept was picking up fast, Covid struck and his plan was put on hold that took him back together with partners like MTN Uganda, back to the drawing board.
