The Uganda Nationwide Cultural Centre (UNCC) has summoned artists Gravity Omutujju and Lil Pazo Lunabe to handle considerations over alleged vulgar content material of their latest songs.
In a letter signed by Phina Mugerwa, launched on December 3, 2024, the UNCC invited the artists to a gathering scheduled for Monday, December 9, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. on the Nationwide Theatre.
The assembly goals to debate songs like Okwepicha, Enyama, Doozi, and Omunio by Gravity Omutujju, in addition to Enkudi and Ensujju by Lil Pazo, which the UNCC claims don’t align with Uganda’s cultural values and norms.
“As a part of our mandate to protect, promote, and popularize artwork and tradition domestically and internationally, we invite you to a dialogue about your content material. These songs not solely problem our cultural id but additionally threaten the sustainability of the inventive sector for future generations,” Mugerwa acknowledged within the letter.
The UNCC emphasised the necessity for artists to think about cultural sensitivities of their work, urging them to attend the assembly for the betterment of the Ugandan inventive trade.
As of now, neither Gravity Omutujju nor Lil Pazo has responded to the summons, leaving followers and stakeholders unsure about their subsequent transfer.
