Ugandan Musicians Face Revenue Challenges Due to Live Concert Streams

  Jaja Ragga Dee Addresses Revenue Losses from Live Concert Streams in Uganda Jaja Ragga Dee commonly known as Daniel kazibwe, a prominent figure in the Ugandan music industry and the patron of the Uganda Musicians Federation (UMF), has raised concerns over the financial losses Ugandan artists face due to live concert broadcasts by various media houses. In recent statements, he highlighted how these live streams on different social media platforms deter many potential concertgoers from attending events, opting instead to watch the performances for free from the comfort of their homes. Jaja Ragga Dee pointed out that a concert which could potentially attract around 8,000 attendees often ends up drawing only about 3,000 people.

Entertainment wrap up of 2018

The Ugandan music industry is one that always starts on a good note and ends up in a different style for many musicians.

And when you ask others concerning concerts they will tell you Ugandans ain't royal at all.

But is it the Funs to blame? Or the managements that don't make research about their audiences and age groups, and also making a minimal budget and Target other sources of income like selling albums and maybe music streaming and downloads.

The stack holders in the industry should help format ways musicians can get money apart from end of year music concerts that they expect a lot from yet they end up making losses cause of not making research on which periods of the year they should do what.

I will end wishing my readers a happy New year and also the managements of the different artists learning from what happened in the year 2018 that such mistakes don't happen.
