Cindy
Best Female Artist in East Africa 2016 (Afrima Awards), Cindy Sanyu is one of the few female artists who performed far above others as far as Ugandan Music is concerned. Still, Standing remains my favorite song. Her collabo with Namibian Oteya, ‘Sum O Dat’ and other songs were worth listening too.

The song Sembera by Irene Ntale pulled her all this long to this list! Nominated in continental awards (Afrima awards 2016) Irene Ntale was that kinda musician one should have listened to in this year. Her song ‘He go down’ is one of the “standard” videos I longed for in Uganda!
