IAMRISHA had the privilege of visiting Kampala, Uganda this year to create an East Africa radio special for her show, A Worldwide Thing. One of the artists she connected with was DJ Kampire whose been making Ugandan party people dance since 2015. Kampire’s sets perfectly mix nostalgic and contemporary African sensibilities. Her syncopated picks will take the dancer from the Lingala that reminds them of their parents’ parties, to the make-your-booty-touch-the-ground songs that remind no one of their parents, to the faster-paced beats from diverse continental and diasporic traditions that will make you forget even yourself.
