Ugandan music lovers have fully endorsed Picha (Grenade Official Ft Pinky), Katonda Wabanaku (Pr. Bugembe), Oliwa (Carol Nantongo), Kanzunzu (Fik Fameika), Omega (Anknown) and Mudra’s Balo Balo.
Starting months ago, the fans nominated the songs (above) in the different categories in the Zzina Awards 2022/23.
The Awards climaxed Saturday night at Motiv in Kampala with Picha, Katonda Wabanaku, Oliwa, Kanzunzu and Balo Balo standing out. For instance, Picha was named song of the year and best collaboration, while Nantongo’s Oliwa took Afro beat song of the year gong.
As you will see (as detailed below), Eddy Kenzo maintained a firm grip on the Ugandan music scene, emerging the artiste of the Year. Sheebah Karungi and Fik Fameika managed Female and Male artistes of the year respectively, despite having been nominated for artiste of the year category.
