Ugandan Musician Liam Voice Speaks Out Against Hypocrisy in Music Criticism

 

Ugandan musician Liam Voice has expressed frustration with the double standards in music criticism in Uganda. In an interview with a local television station, Voice highlighted the inconsistency in how Ugandans respond to vulgar music from foreign artists versus their own.

 

Voice noted that when Nigerian artist Ruger releases vulgar music, Ugandans seem to accept and even celebrate it. However, when a Ugandan artist like Pazzo releases a similar style of music, such as his song “Enkudi,” they are met with criticism and disapproval.

 

Voice argued that this hypocrisy is unfair and that Ugandans should learn to support and motivate their own artists rather than hyping outsiders. He emphasized the importance of promoting local talent and encouraged Ugandans to appreciate their own artists’ work.

 

This issue raises questions about cultural double standards and the music industry’s role in shaping societal values. Voice’s comments have sparked a conversation about the need for Ugandans to support their own artists and promote local music.”
