One of Uganda's most progressive contemporary female artists, Mariam Ndagire is scheduled to perform in The Bronx, New York later this year.

"It will be a great event, the first of its kind when we host the Ugandan female artist MARIAM NDAGIRE and other performers in New York City at CARDINAL HAYES HIGH SCHOOL 650 GRAND CONCOURSE BRONX, NY 10451", explains Annet Nakamya, the Publicity Secretary of UAAGNY

And what is the UAAGNY? It is an organization for Ugandans in the greater New York area. This is not going to be the first time Mariam has performed in The States. She featured at the UNAA-Boston Convention 2003. The UNAA is the Uganda North America Association

Annet also explains that the aim of the function is "to bring our culture alive to our people here and to promote the entertainment sector and more especially to educate our children and well wishers about our values and traditions".

This is going to be a nostalgic performance that shall make those that have been away for long homesick. Mariam Ndagire is the lead singer of the Trends Band based at Bat Valley theatre in Kampala. The multitalented Mariam is also an accomplished playwright and actress. She was a female-vocalist nominee for the inaugural Peal of Africa Music Awards in 2003.

Mariam Ndagire’s Majangwa album review.

The feeling of  I am about to press play to listen to Mariam Ndagire’s latest effort in the form of her latest studio album   Majangwa does not only create tension but anxiety too simply for the reason being that it means you are about to listen to not only a veteran respected stage actress and play righter but also an extremely imaginative and quite experimental type of female diva  lyrically. It’s therefore not surprising that many of her songs have been chosen as stage feelers for enormously emotional stage play scenes. Her latest outing Majangwa does not only show that Mariam can capture your emotions off guard but in the long run you might as well gain some entertainment(get educated about  different social issues whilst being entertained by the beauteous music patterns as powered by the various music instruments there in.
