Zari gives fascinating advice to upcoming musicians.

Zari Hassan, a former singer turned businesswoman, has offered some pointed advice to Ugandan musicians, urging them to elevate their game and aim for international recognition.

In a viral video, Zari emphasised the need for artists to explore beyond the Kidandali music genre, which heavily features native Ugandan sounds and samples.

“Ugandans need to explore what South Africans, Nigerians, and Jamaicans are doing differently,” Zari stated. 

She suggested that by studying the diverse music scenes and genres of these countries, Ugandan musicians could adapt and innovate to enhance their music and broaden their appeal. 

Zari believes that sticking solely to the Kidandali style limits the potential for Ugandan music to gain traction on the global stage.

Her advice underscores the importance of diversifying musical styles to attract a wider audience beyond Uganda’s borders. 

Zari, who began her career as a singer, is currently in Uganda, where she was warmly welcomed by her husband, Shakib Cham. 

Cham greeted her with a bouquet of flowers and a heartfelt note expressing his delight at her return:

“Hi Zari, Your presence shines so bright just like you. It is always amazing when you come, Welcome back my queen.”
