Veteran musician Catherine Kusasira has called on National Unity Platform (NUP) president Robert Kyagulanyi, popularly known as Bobi Wine, to use his influence to help revive Uganda’s struggling music industry.
Speaking during an appearance on a local podcast, Kusasira was asked what message she would deliver to the opposition leader, who is currently in exile.
The singer said she would appeal to Bobi Wine to turn his attention back to the entertainment industry, arguing that musicians have faced growing challenges since his entry into active politics.
“I would ask him to help revive the music industry. I know the pain and the hustle musicians go through, and his voice would definitely mean a lot,” she said.
Kusasira believes Bobi Wine’s influence could play a significant role in addressing the challenges facing artistes and supporting the growth of Uganda’s music industry.
