Mesach Semakula believes quality music is making a comeback, saying more Ugandan artists are returning to songs with meaningful messages and lasting value.
Speaking to on Sanyuka TV‘s Uncut, the veteran singer said he has noticed a positive shift in the industry as audiences increasingly embrace music with substance over short-lived trends.
Mesach also urged the Ministry of Ethics and Integrity to take a more active role in addressing what he described as growing moral decay in society.
He argued that vulgarity, indecent behaviour and explicit content have become increasingly common, warning that the trend is contributing to what he called a “generation decay.”
The Ministry of Ethics and Integrity should step in and help reduce moral decay in society.
Mesach said restoring moral values should not rest with the government alone, adding that parents, artists, leaders and the public all share responsibility for shaping the next generation.
Despite his concerns, he remains optimistic that quality music will continue to reclaim its place in Uganda’s entertainment industry as more artists focus on meaningful content.
