Catherine Kusasira Urges Bobi Wine to Help Revive Uganda's Music Industry

Veteran Ugandan musician Catherine Kusasira has made a public appeal to National Unity Platform (NUP) president Robert Kyagulanyi, widely known as Bobi Wine, asking him to step in and help revive the nation’s entertainment sector.

Speaking during a recent appearance on a local podcast, Kusasira was asked what message she would send to the prominent opposition leader, who currently remains in exile. The singer expressed deep concern over the current state of local entertainment, arguing that artists have encountered increasingly difficult challenges ever since Bobi Wine transitioned from the music scene into active national politics.

Kusasira emphasized that the creative community continues to suffer through intense economic hardships and professional struggles. She expressed her belief that his unique voice and enduring influence within the cultural space could still drive positive change and unite stakeholders in addressing these systemic issues.

“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,” Kusasira stated during the interview.

The veteran artist remains hopeful that despite his political commitments and current absence, Bobi Wine’s legacy and continued presence in the public consciousness could be leveraged to support the growth and welfare of Ugandan artistes.
