Fast-rising singer Kapeke has become the latest voice in Uganda’s music scene to react with total disbelief after Eddy Kenzo bagged his second Grammy nomination for a song almost no one here seems to know.
The nominated track, “Hope & Love” featuring Iranian-American producer Mehran Matin, has left even fellow artists scratching their heads. Kapeke didn’t mince words when asked about it.
“To be honest, I’m shocked. I have never heard that song in my life,” he laughed. “In my head, Grammy means a mega banger that the whole country is singing. For Kenzo, that song has always been ‘Sitya Loss’. That one shook the planet. This new one? Zero idea.”
