A DUCK FARMERS MUSIC-POLITICO ANALYSIS ON FOOLS DAY 2014 The best way to understand Gen Sevos politics is to look at Jose Chameleone and his Tumboge Concert! Apparently, Jose made a rallying call to Ugandan musicians to start staging their concerts and album launches at Lugogo Indoor Stadium. The intention is to send a signal that Ugandan music is as big and good as Nigerian and Jamaican music! You may want to know that in the mid 90s Jose Chameleone had to ally with Kenyan musicians and Ogopa DJs to launch his assault on Congolese music. We could say he went to the musical bush in Nairobi together with Bebe Cool. Now, you know Gen Sevo had to go the bush in the early 80s to dislodge UPCs Obote. After capturing power, the Geo-political dynamics of the cold-war forced him to adopt the IMF and World Bank SAPs on free market fundamentalism and capitalism! We have been suffering the political indigestion of this policy since then. 26 years later, the marriage is hanging on threads! He has had to look East, to China to finance the building blocks to his legacy; Roads, Electricity and Bridges. 20 years down the road, Jose Chameleone (well into the evening days of his music career) is also looking for allies to fight the second invasion on Ugandan music; Nigerian and Jamaican artists. He is seeking for allies from within! He has had to reconcile with some of his foes Goodlyf, Bebe and Bobi. Gen Sevo has not sought for allies from within! He prefers the tigers across the Indian Ocean. He has also played chess on behalf of Uncle Sam in Somalia, DRC and now Juba! If you ask me, his legacy shall forever be shaped by the cards played across our borders not within. Jose Chameleone seems to prefer legacy shaped by the cards played within Lugogo not Abuja or Capetown. Sevo is in search of new friends. Sevo is unhappy with his old friends. Sevo is a man in search of a legacy. Sevo is a man on a mission, and so is Jose Chameleone.
