Ugandan songwriter and singer Dokta Brain has publicly stood up for Joshua Baraka amid ongoing debates about his local impact.
Baraka, who is gaining traction abroad, has faced skepticism from some artists like Azawi over his influence in Uganda’s music scene.
Dokta Brain argues that Baraka marks a historic milestone for Ugandan music on the world stage, filling a long-standing gap. ‘Those criticizing him should join him instead—he’s the man of the moment,’ Dokta Brain stated.
He drew parallels between Baraka and regional successes like Diamond Platnumz and Bien, and even predicted Baraka could rival African powerhouses such as Wizkid, Burna Boy, and Davido.
This defense underscores growing optimism about Uganda’s music exporting potential.
