Musician Joseph Mayanja a.k.a Jose Chameleone’s Badilisha
launch is on April 26 at Kyadondo rugby grounds and he has called it “a
music tsunami”. Chameelone has invited all the artistes and says it
will be about celebrating passion not a job.
Chameleone
says the action-packed show is organized to celebrate and honour East
African music, which is why he invited musicians like Red San, Professor
J, Mr Nice and Masamba because they have fought for the industry in the
region.
“Those
who take music as a job are those who don’t want to end wars, but the
world has moved on to where they only appreciate the best,” says
Chameleone, who said he brought life back to Kyadondo [after the July
2010 bomb blasts, he was the first to organize a massive show here].
Jose
Chameleone says that he is ready for this concert. According to him,
every album has got its memories, and he puts his emotions into the
music when composing and that aside; he is also the number one fan of
Jose Chameleone so he makes sure he doesn’t disappoint his number one
fan.
Chameleon
says that Badilisha song is about a lover losing patience and letting
go. Released on January 26 this year, it has not only helped him remain
on top musically, but also soothe emotions that almost made him quit the
industry. The death of a young man, Robert Karamagi, in Chameleone’s
Seguku compound nearly brought the singer’s career crashing down when he
was implicated in murder.
“I
was not on the panel that announced the list; so, they know better what
criteria they used and that makes me thank God that I am recognized in
the right way,” says the singer.
Chameleon
is now a changed man as he says; “Since the Karamagi saga, I have
understood people and I have now remained with a few friends, my wife
and children. People hated me, pointed fingers at me and even those I
helped wanted me hanged,”
