Kidandali

Indirectly, Kidandali is most times cemented by the Dem Bow riddim, a result of the early Ragga influence on Ugandan pop music.

The bass guitar is the most pronounced instrument and it controls the rhythm and tempo of the song just like in kadongo kamu.

By the mid 1990s Afrigo Band was still heavily influenced by lingala music, which by then was dominant all over the African continent.

The turning point, however, came with the formation of the record label Eagles Production which was responsible for producing artists like, Mesach Semakula, Geoffrey Lutaaya, Ronald Mayinja and Haruna Mubiru.

The label continued to produce more talent, especially female artists like Cathy Kusasira, Irene Namatovu and Stecia Mayanja.

Another turning point was around 2007 when David Lutalo broke through with the hit song "Kapapala" creating the way for the genre to move beyond the Eagles Production label and for other solo artists to join the fray.

The genre is currently at the peak of its evolution with newer artists like Papa Cidy and Chris Evans helping create a dominant force in Ugandan music.
