https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nyege_Nyege Nyege Nyege is a collective in Kampala, Uganda that promotes outsider music, primarily electronic,[1] by African artists. It was founded in 2013 by expats Arlen Dilsizian and Derek Debru. In addition to organizing ongoing parties and an artist residency,[2] the collective runs two record labels and a multi-day annual festival. Its name refers to a Luganda word describing “a sudden, uncontrollable urge to dance.”

Bringing Uganda on the Map “In Kampala, musicians, DJ’s, and video producers work hard to compete with artists in big markets like Nigeria and Kenya. Some artists created pan-African fan bases and perform in Europe and the U.S.” https://norient.com/video/uganda_2014
