President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has surprised Ugandans with the official launch of his latest music album titled “Yoweri.” The album, which was unveiled at a colorful event in Kampala, celebrates Uganda’s indigenous rhythms and cultural heritage.
Museveni praised local musicians and cultural groups for their role in preserving Uganda’s traditions through music. He highlighted the importance of music not only as entertainment but also as a tool for education, unity, and patriotism.
The album features songs that combine traditional instruments such as the adungu, engoma, and endingidi, with modern sounds, creating a unique blend that resonates with both the young and the old.
While the launch has sparked excitement among supporters, critics argue that the move is political, aimed at appealing to the youth ahead of the 2026 elections. Regardless of political interpretations, the album adds a new dimension to Museveni’s already diverse public image.
