- Biography
Nyege Nyege formed as a club night in Kampala, Uganda with the aim to create a space where homegrown East African DJs, musicians, and artists could take risks playing a wide range of sounds in a safe and supportive environment - a place where like-minded people could hang out and enjoy music, share ideas and become friends.
The motivations behind the night, and the emergence of a community around it, form the basis for every subsequent project. These include a music festival, a professional community recording studio and residency space, a booking agent and two record labels (Nyege Nyege Tapes & Hakuna Kulala) all integrated into a holistic platform to support the electronic underground music community.
Nyege Nyege uses existing expertise collectively to produce, program, and curate, and explores new cross-border ways to provide a forum for an emerging creative generation to flourish.
