WCW: Female Artists that have dominated the dancehall Music Industry

We are clearly past the days when dancehall music was dominated by the male species. Back then female artists were represented by Julianna Kanyomozi and Irene Namubiru which determined the kind of songs women could do.

Love ballads and gentle nature was the ladylike thing to do until some strong women came up and challenged those stereo types and today we celebrate those women.

1.Cindy Sanyu

The king herself is one of the best examples of breaking the mould. Having the generic background with Blu3 making the same lovey dovey love songs and then when she got her chance she blew up and has only gone up since then.

2. Grace Nakimera

This woman right here gave fresh face to the music industry with her flawless looks and alot more dance than we expected.

3. Sheebah

Sheeba is an inspiration. coming from a girl group with normal RnB and slow jams, she has really come along way. She stepped out and has made a lot of herself and now the queen of the dancehall.

4. Vinka

This newbie has had to shut up many haters entering music with people not thinking she will not survive. She has now become a household name.

Who is your WCW?

Airtel Introduces new OTT Data bundles

Airtel Uganda has launched Uganda’s first-ever data OTT packs that will enable subscribers to enjoy undisrupted connectivity by simply subscribing once and getting both data and OTT of the same validity.

Data OTT packs combine data and OTT Tax by maintaining the same data volumes of the selected bundles and simply adding OTT Tax to them. When an Airtel Uganda customer subscribes to this Data OTT pack, they will get a data bundle combined with OTT of the same validity as the bundle pack purchased. For example; daily 15MB will be purchased at UGX450 and it will include UGX250 for the 15MB plus UGX200 for the daily OTT – both valid for 24hours.

Commenting about the new product, Airtel Uganda Managing Director Mr. V.G. Somasekhar noted that, “Gone are the days when subscribers had data but could not connect because they had not paid their OTT and vice versa. With these new packs, we are bringing convenience to our subscribers whether they prefer daily, weekly or monthly data packs.”

“This is the first offering of this sort in Uganda and we are proud to lead the way when it comes to providing our subscribers with affordable, convenient and innovative telecommunications solutions,” he added.

This announcement comes on the heels of a directive from Uganda Revenue Authority, the tax body in Uganda, which changed OTT validity to 24 hours. Airtel Uganda also recently added more options to the OTT menu giving subscribers the ability to pay their taxes on a quarterly and annual basis.
