About Ugandan radio
Luganda, the language of the Baganda around Kampala, carries many of the biggest stations, alongside English and Swahili. Ugandan music runs from kadongo kamu, the storytelling style built on a single guitar, to Afropop and dancehall-flavoured hits. Kenyan radio, Swahili radio and African radio go further.
