The alternative sounds of Uganda

Jamz explores the alternative musical landscape of Uganda with Arlen of Nyege Nyege & Hakuna Kulala, Kampire, Catu Diosis, Anti-Mass, Odur, Bobby Buzigahill and more.

In Jamz Supernova鈥檚 Global Sounds, Jamz delves into the heartbeat of musical scenes across the globe.

Across this four-part series, Jamz explores global sounds from Japan (uncovering the country鈥檚 diverse club and underground music movements), Brazil (delving deeper into Brazilian Funk and the alternative sounds pushing things forward), and the Pacific Islands (spotlighting contemporary artists from Aotearoa to Tahiti, and from Tonga to Samoa redefining tradition).

In this episode, Jamz explores Uganda's alternative and underground music scenes beyond the well-known Nyege Nyege Festival. She traces the evolution of electronic Kadodi, experimental club sounds, and the fashion and creative communities shaping the country鈥檚 nightlife and counterculture.

Jamz catches up with Kampire, one of East Africa鈥檚 most exciting DJs, to discuss the global reach of Uganda鈥檚 club music. She also hears from Catu Diosis, who shares insight into the underground electronic movement and the global future of Ugandan music. We dive into the radical party collective Anti-Mass and speak with Violence Gratuite after bumping into her during Arlen Dilsizian's guided tour of Hakuna Kulala's famous 'villa'. Plus, Arsene Mikebe provides a breakdown of how they merge the worlds of tradition and techno via their 'Drum Machine'. Also, Jamz explores the world of fashion and art as designer Bobby Kolade speaks about upcycling and repurposing second-hand clothes through Buzigahill, and visionary artist Odur raises the pivotal conversation of movement.
