Through jam sessions, musicians get together to perform in a live band and also trade ideas. It’s an initiative of the Uganda National Musicians Federation, which is headed by Eddy Kenzo and it is held at A'lure Hotel & Suites Mutundwe in Kampala.
The Federation was formed in May under the patronage of Gen. Salim Saleh and Esther Akampumuza, the owner of the aforementioned hotel where most of its activities are conducted.
The UNMF’s organizational structure consists of a general assembly of members, a leadership team, committees focusing on various aspects of the industry, regional representatives, a secretariat, and a board of trustees, featuring representatives from Operation Wealth Creation (OWC), Uganda National Cultural Center (UNCC), and National Cultural Forum (NCF).
UNMF is a collaborative effort of musicians, industry stakeholders, and the Ugandan government, aimed at unifying the music industry in Uganda. The Federation brings together all associations in the industry under one umbrella, promoting growth, collaboration, and unity among musicians and stakeholders.
