Maro returns home, vows to reclaim Busoga music crown

Ugandan R&B singer Maro, real name Ronald Magada, has made a highly anticipated return to Uganda. The Busoga-born artist, who had relocated to Germany in November 2023, arrived at Entebbe Airport over the weekend, and welcomed by a handful of fans.

Addressing reporters at the airport, Maro dismissed any concerns about his relevance being overshadowed by newer talents from Busoga, such as Acidic Vokoz.

“For everyone who is good, we have to let them shine, but that doesn't stop me from shining as well, and that is why I am here to also shine my light again,” he confidently stated.

Maro hopes his return will reassert him as one of the leading voices from the region.

During his time in Germany, Maro stayed active in both music and humanitarian work. He continued his passion for music production, releasing a 16-track album titled Departures, which he produced during the pandemic lockdown.

The album featured collaborations with various Ugandan and international artists, and Maro maintained his presence in the music scene by performing in German cities, including notable performances at Mark Foster’s concerts, which further boosted his popularity abroad​

Back home, Maro is determined to reconnect with his Ugandan fanbase, which he acknowledges may have felt distant during his time abroad.

“If you are away from the fans who love you, your light starts to dim. People thought I stopped making music because I was so far away. You cannot get warmth from a fire if you are too far away. That is why I am back home to rekindle my fanbase,” he said.

He plans to dive back into music production and stage performances, with a new song expected to drop soon​.

Maro’s return comes at a time when Busoga's music scene is thriving with new talent, but he remains confident that his legacy as the self-proclaimed RnB Kyabazinga (King of R&B) will continue to shine.
