A Pass Debuts a New All-East African Playlist on OkayAfrica

By Eric Mace

A new all-East African playlist from Uganda's A Pass.  From OkayAfrica:

A Pass is an East African star.

The Kampala-born singer and songwriter has gained lots of traction across the region’s music charts with steady drops of addictive singles like “Wuuyo,” “Tuli Kubigere,” “Gamululu,” and the new “Sugar Girl.”

His reggae-dancehall constructions have led him to collaborate with the likes of Konshens and take home trophies at Hipipo Awards and the Uganda Entertainment Awards.

We asked A Pass to tell us about the contemporary sounds that have been taking over the airwaves in Uganda and East Africa, to which he responded with this solid playlist featuring the likes of Ben Pol, Juliana Kanyomozi, Diamond Platnumz, Bebe Cool, Mr Eazi and, of course, himself.

Check out the playlist.
