Kalifah AgaNaga believes good music never goes out of style.
The singer has breathed new life into his hit song Nassanga, assembling an all-star cast that includes Winnie Nwagi, Weasel, Lil Pazo, and Eddy Kenzo for a fresh remix.
According to AgaNaga, the collaboration began with a simple phone call.
He approached each artist with the idea, and they immediately embraced the project before coming together to shoot the official video.
I called all of them and told them I had a remix of Nassanga. They all liked the idea and came together to shoot the video.
The renewed attention surrounding Nassanga, fueled by social media challenges, has convinced AgaNaga that timeless songs always find their way back to listeners.
Old songs do not die. People bringing back Nassanga and doing challenges on social media is their way of thanking me for making good music and also feeling pity for me because they stole my votes during the elections.
Lil Pazo also lifted the curtain on how the remix came together, revealing that the final lineup emerged from a much larger pool of artists.
We were over 100 artists who were considered for the Nassanga remix, but some of the vocals did not fit the song, so we remained with a few.
With the remix now out, AgaNaga has turned his attention to August 1, when he will headline the Nassanga Festival Mukibira, a concert he hopes families will enjoy together.
He says the event will offer more than music, encouraging parents to attend with their children for what he describes as a full day of entertainment.
