trust his former band mate to lead the nation so butcher man is backing with 70. 2 i can't be so sure about what the wind in one was appointed shall know. i can't support these ideas and i never thing i. and the president were 70 has a record of using music to mobilize supporters he even went to the recording studios himself i some say that this time getting up close to artists is a direct attack strategy on his new pop stop political point. but as most 70 florence's new musical roots will be winds not tired of releasing music that slams this government. through his music into people about the goings on the current state politically and otherwise the

ease that our government is doing but also what people can do as citizens what we can do to contribute to the betterment of things and he's been doing that through music and so the city lies is this thing is very powerful. popstar polymeric has a radio started to divide the fund but some are wary of choosing trucks by their political affiliations. i can't follow him in his new career of politics but i love his music. if he wants to do something to eat he's doing. what he's had is trying his best to be what he was when it comes to political parties and where the musician sings for the ruling party or the others it does not affect me because that's their choice i can't be stopped from supporting my candidate. but when the music is ugandans demand more from their leaders being one of the youngest populations in the world

issues like health care. and jobs are key as the presidential elections draw near for more on uganda's musical politics i'm joined by ugandan human rights advocate and lawyer nicholas appeal he has defended bobby wine in some of these cases welcome to africa mr obviously you have to autists with a very similar profile to seeing against each other this looks like pure genius on the part of president you where was 70 but is your client bobby why worried about the challenge coming through from bush a man. not a new one because the musicians. people that are being put together by the president of the republic of uganda do not have the profile and do not have this. of the wind. and his colleagues are
10:36 pm
not people highly regarded has and don't have the political. and bobby wang hons right now and i've grown in needs and bounds from being a musician to not show up with a comedian ok but i mean you have defended bobby white in some of his cases and of course from your perspective he's rights have been abused but does that make him presidential material mr. it is true the brewer he's a political novice he's only been a member of parliament for just under 3 yes and so people are right to question whether he's ready to lead this country i'm not going to get to meet questions but the problem of this country is not a problem of this country place a problem of how we try and seizure and from what is now seen as an autocratic leadership to a more democratic leadership will be where and speaks to the poor people they understand him he was made to them and in that sense he's got
10:37 pm
a lot of support across the country. doubt about it and i succumb and they have to still feel i mean you say you've resonates with people sure he does he's a musician a lot of people in uganda love his music in fact we've just played a report where we heard some of his supporters say we love him as a musician we don't necessarily see him as somebody who could lead the country as a president i mean is this in some way a way for mr bobby white to raise his profile as a musician. or maybe one hasn't just been a musician his music haven't just been about music this center theme of these music over the last 10 years in uganda has been a theme of social justice a funeral human rights if you move fighting poverty it is because of the content of his music that he has become as popular not the quality of his music more ruins music doesn't play in clubs or doesn't play on radio has much as in other people's songs do but his songs strike to the heart of the problem of the divil of this
10:38 pm
country for a very writer and that is all great musical because i am a stranger and we're running out of time but i still want to push you on this you've told us about the content of these music and indeed you know this is somebody who has spoken out against injustices in ugandan society all ugandans being cheated and i don't want to say this to you i mean is it a scenario where you potentially have missed of all the why and taking away from another credible opposition candidates who could essentially deliver on the part of being a serious president option for ugandans. i think of the buffer want to qualify the head of state in this country is a very very low bar. and just like anybody in this country qualifies to contest for president who might question his command as a leader but he's legitimately qualified to be president of this country whether he would make a good president or not is really up to the populace to decide but i agree with you

he's abroad dam on he requires some refinement he will require some work to be done around him for him to be the leader that all of us expect him to be. nicholas appeal in kampala thank you you're welcome thank you very much for having me. now emoji have changed the way we communicate sometimes just an image with no words gets the message across don't always reflect every day life in africa you're about to meet the guy who's done something about that. hello my name's uplevel i'm 22 years old and i'm studying computer graphic design i created the project is a quietly african emerges. the idea came about because i wanted to design masks so. nowadays we live in a modern way. and we tend to neglect the traditional aspects of our african culture
