Background
Ndagire is a Ugandan based in
Kampala. Her father Mr. Kibuuka Zechariah (R.I.P) was a Muganda
and her mother Ms. Bonabana Edith is a Munyankole from Ibanda,
Kayongo, Kasharara also known as “karo karungi”. Since in Uganda
a child takes the fathers clan, tribe and totem, this makes
Ndagire a Muganda belonging to the Mamba clan like her late
father.
Despite having many Songs that are rocking Kampala’s airwaves,
Ndagire has not yet released an album. Want to know why? Email
