Kampala- Friday June 5 all entertainers will head to Club Cyclone for the launch of the Uganda Entertainment Awards that will feature the cream of Uganda’s musicians, artistes, dramatists, actors and actresses.
According to the organisers, Cents Events Limited, the entertainers will deliberate on issues pertaining to the general performing arts in the country, with a view to spurring the entertainment industry to international standards.
They further say the awards will help change the landscape of Uganda’s entertainment industry, which many argue, has tended to primarily focus on music.
For a long time now entertainment enthusiasts have averred that Uganda’s entertainment industry has failed to tap into the panoply of arts, with focus on music and a few other performing arts, something that has left many talents unappreciated.
“Many will attest to the fact that Uganda has many extremely talented actors, comedians, sportsmen, DJ’s, MC’s yet many of them haven’t been exposed or pushed past their local theatre audience or better still, appreciated for their craft,” said one of the critiques, who sought to remain anonymous.
