He’s just 10,000 streams away from hitting the magical one million mark. That would officially place him among Africa’s streaming royalty!

But Baraka isn’t the only one making noise online. Uganda’s top guns and new wave stars are all cashing in on the streaming revolution. Here’s the latest hot list of who’s buzzing on Spotify right now:
