Ragga Dee

Bebe Cool, Ragga Dee and other Ugandan artistes are rivals in music. SC Villa, Express and KCC (?VEK?) are rivals in football. A recent visit to the UK highlighted in my mind the intense rivalry...

In a wide ranging and exclusive interview with The Observer, one of Uganda's most respected musicians, Ragga Dee, claims that plagiarism is a real problem in the Ugandan music industry. "Right now we are facing a serious problem of copyright infringement in the music industry. I'm sure you have heard of many young, unknown singers complaining that their songs have been stolen by some bigger artistes," he said.

We have seen many young musicians diversify from merely singing into other businesses. Ragga Dee, a while back tried to venture into nightclub management and road construction.

Ragga Dee, has not only achieved himself a name in Kampala courtesy of his music but in West Nile too where he was recently.
