Lord Fred Sebatta has urged young artists to dedicate time to learning musical instruments, saying this as essential for building a lasting music career.
Sebatta, who has been a staple in the Ugandan music industry for 42 years, shared this advice during a press conference held on Tuesday to announce his upcoming anniversary concert.
The challenge with Ugandan musicians is that they rush to the microphone. They never want to take time to learn the instruments.
For a guitar, you need about one and a half years to get the basics, and once you do, it gives you a perfect starting chance in creating music.
An artist who knows instruments is able to discernand make good choices about how to build their own tunes.
Sebatta will be celebrating 42 years of Kadongo Kamu music excellence next month on 13th at Serena Hotel – Kampala.
