Uganda’s musicians import their biff into politics

The days of Funtula song that opened the way for biff

If you are not careful the trio of Uganda’s music thuggery will soon overshadow politics and throw the whole country into poly drama.

The trio that include Jose Chameleone aka Joseph Mayanja, Bebe Cool aka Moses Ssali and Bobi Wine  aka Robert Kyagulanyi, are not new to the drama.

About eighteen years (18) ago, the trio had a strategy known in music industry, as ‘Biff/beef’ an artificial fight, which they created unknowingly and it worked for them.

Out of the ‘biff’ the musicians shined and were motivated to produce music that somehow excited gullible fans. Corporate companies hired their services and they build houses, and their lifestyles changed. They actually benefited out of the ‘biff’.

Unfortunately, some other artists who tried such strategy failed miserably.

Today, one of the proponents of the ‘biff’, after realising that the ‘biff’ has no space, he introduced a similar strategy, ” violence.”

Bad enough, this violence is in politics which has bigger sphere and, a heterogeneous system. This will automatically fail but it will leave a trail.

Back to the trio, these musicians who have already hit the retirement age of their career, because nobody among the three is below 40 years. Get 19 years plus the years they had when they started singing you get the actual age.

The trio caused more harm to the music industry, like Francis Imbuga in the Betrayal in the City; they killed our past and are killing the future.

The biff among Jose Chameleons, Bebe Cool and Bobi Wine was disgusting. Unfortunately, that is what they are importing into politics.

It started in Parliament the MPs, even those Ugandans believed were mature in politics, were lured into this hooliganism!

A few insane characters are luring the country into a merry drama sensual. Although they say man is a political animal, there are people who would opt to remain out of politics but are now trapped into this merry drama.

Ugandans stay tuned, be careful these musicians are pushing you into their merry drama.
