Betty Mpologoma is back with a sensational six-track album called Bodyguard. Bodyguard has made Mpologoma not only a city darling, but she is also in the villages selling like hot cakes.

At a recent concert in Entebbe, fans demanded she sings Obulamu (life), writes Titus Serunjogi.

The song urges people to enjoy themselves because life is short and that people should desist from boasting about their wealth. “Why boast about what’s not yours. We all leave our riches on earth when we die,” she says.

Mpologoma started singing with the Seventh Day Adventist choir when she was only six. But she later picked up the Ebonies’ traditions for sentimental live music. This is most evident in her Tokyanfaako (You don’t care about me), a gentle song in which she calls for a gone lover to return. Another track, Londa ennamba yo (choose your number) shot to the top off the CBS FM charts last month. “I advise my fans to let go of partners who cannot respond to their love,” Mpologoma says. Listening her Londa ennamba yo, you’ll begin to feel each man or woman can get a lover whom they can happily live with. The video for the song has been recorded at Image Vision. The artiste has been at the forefront of live band music since 2001. She once sung with the Eagles Production and released Njagala mukwano’, which immediately cast her into the music spotlight. Later, she joined Kato Lubwama’s Diamonds’ Production and again ruled the charts with Big Daddy, which was voted among the best songs of 2002.
