Mayinja on why musicians are going back to school

The legendary artist believes there has been an awakening among Ugandan musicians about the influence they hold over the population.

The musicians, he said, are trying to expand their knowledge base to be more relevant to their fans who have much faith and belief in them.

“People think that we are smart…that we know a lot because we give people information,” Mayinja said on Thursday.

“If therefore, you yourself don't know what you are talking about, you will poison people’s minds”

The singer was speaking in light of fellow musician and opposition leader Bobi Wine’s graduation from Cavendish University.

Bobi Wine finally completed his law course after 8 years.
