Some people make songs. Some people make hits. And then there are those rare people who, over time, become part of the story, character and conscience of an entire industry. Papa Mesach Semakula is one of those people. Long before the name Mesach Semakula carried the weight it carries today, there was simply a young Ugandan boy with a dream. In the late 1990s, he came to Kampala chasing that dream. He faced many setback and a number of rejections and we all know For many young people, rejection can become the end of a dream. For Papa Mesach, it became part of the education. He kept going. He joined groups. He lost opportunities. He started again. He recorded music when the Ugandan music business was still developing its commercial structures. But still, he kept going. That persistence eventually gave Uganda one of the most distinctive voices of our generation. Papa Mesach Semakula is one of the founding members of Eagles Production, an establishment that became the champions of modern band music and later Golden Production. And when I speak about Mesach Semakula, I am not speaking simply about a singer. I am speaking about a storyteller. A songwriter. A mentor.(to many young people he is known as papa) A band leader. A businessman. An institution builder. And above everything else, a man whose music has accompanied Ugandans through different seasons of their lives. Papa Mesach belongs to that special school of musicians who understand that a song does not have to make noise to make an impact. Sometimes music must speak. Sometimes it must advise. Sometimes it must comfort. Sometimes it must warn. Sometimes it must celebrate. Sometimes it must simply sit beside somebody who is going through something and tell them: I understand. That is one of Papa Mesach’s greatest gifts. His songwriting has always found extraordinary meaning in ordinary life. Love, marriage, disappointment, family, gratitude, betrayal, responsibility, society, culture, relationships and the everyday struggles of our people have all found a home in his music. Songs such as Tukwegomba Bangi, Kulika Baby, First Aid, Sigwe Onsimila, Kankutendereze, Mummy Nzize, Kyalimpa and many others are not simply entries in a catalogue. They are chapters in Uganda’s musical memory. As a musician, I admire Papa Mesach’s ability to respectfully remain himself. Music has changed. Technology has changed. Audiences have changed. Generations have changed. The economics of our industry have changed. But Mesach Semakula has never needed to become somebody else in order to remain relevant. That is artistic identity. There is something else about Papa that younger artists should study carefully: Longevity is not an accident. Talent can introduce you to the public. A hit song can make you famous. But character, discipline, relationships, humility, financial wisdom, adaptability and respect for your craft are what allow you to remain standing when different generations have come and gone. Mesach Semakula has demonstrated that. He was part of building Eagles Production, one of the most consequential music groups of its generation, and later founded in Golden Production. Through those institutions, artists were developed, audiences were built, jobs were created and Ugandan band music became an important part of our mainstream popular culture. But perhaps one of the greatest measurements of Papa Mesach’s contribution is not even found in his own songs. It is found in other people. Over the years, many musicians have spoken about the advice, opportunities, songwriting, mentorship and support they received from him. That is greatness. Greatness is not only standing under the brightest light. Sometimes greatness is using your light to help another person find the stage.

Papa Mesach Semakula is one of those people.

Long before the name Mesach Semakula carried the weight it carries today, there was simply a young Ugandan boy with a dream.

In the late 1990s, he came to Kampala chasing that dream.

He faced many setback and a number of rejections and we all know For many young people, rejection can become the end of a dream.

For Papa Mesach, it became part of the education.

He kept going.

He joined groups. He lost opportunities. He started again. He recorded music when the Ugandan music business was still developing its commercial structures.

But still, he kept going.

That persistence eventually gave Uganda one of the most distinctive voices of our generation.

Papa Mesach Semakula is one of the founding members of Eagles Production, an establishment that became the champions of modern band music and later Golden Production.

And when I speak about Mesach Semakula, I am not speaking simply about a singer.

I am speaking about a storyteller.

A songwriter.

A mentor.(to many young people he is known as papa)

A band leader.

A businessman.

An institution builder.

And above everything else, a man whose music has accompanied Ugandans through different seasons of their lives.

This punk put his put his hands on baby girl, he stressed that album didn’t sell. I’d laugh at him, but domestic violence is not a joke. @bransoncognac @lecheminduroi
