The roots of popular music began, as most know, in Africa. And while Mali and Nigeria may be home to some of the biggest names in African music, the country of Uganda is actually a little known jewel of musical in its own right, as well. And if you're looking to unearth the treasure trove that is Ugandan music, you would be well served to check out Connect Uganda. Based out of the UK, Connect Uganda features some of the hottest Ugandan pop, hip-hop, soul and reggae around. Fans and novices alike can exchange hot tracks or favorite artists in one of their densely frequented chat rooms or forums, and get all the latest music news to come out of Uganda--all with just a few clicks of the mouse. So if you're looking for a new flavor to add to your playlist stew of African music, give Uganda a shot, and start at Connect Uganda.
You can find Connect Uganda in the African genre of the SHOUTcast Radio Directory.
We decided to spice things up a bit, and tuned in to Bongo Radio for some Ugandan unwinding, and here are ten tunes we chilled out to:
