Ugandan award-winning singer Edrisa Musuuza alias Eddy Kenzo has shared an insight on his forthcoming music album thereby revealing how he will be featuring 3 African legends on big classics.

Young Mandela has opened up about the development on Monday 26th while revealing the title of his upcoming highly anticipated hit album which accordingly he has named ‘MADE IN AFRICA’.

With partiers just counting down days for the "MADE IN AFRICA" official album release come Friday 30th April, 2021, the Big Talent Entertainment CEO has revealed how he will be featuring the legendary Monique Seka on her "MISSOUNWA" remix as well as Congolese king of Rumba, Kanda Bongo Man on "Moni" hit single.

Eddy Kenzo will also turn focus to his childhood inspirational music star thereby paying respect to the late Philly Bongole Lutaaya by doing one of his best classics 'Born in Africa'.

"As I was growing up I was inspired by a lot of songs and legends that I wished to be like one day, they inspired me a lot to be the musician I am today and always looked up to them. Some of these songs made our childhood so fan that we could dance till we all get covered up in dirt/dust.

We decided to bring back the memories of three of these legends and keep their legacies moving.

I want to start with thanking Mama Monique Séka for allowing me redoing the all times classic MISSOUNWA. It was a very special moment with her in studio, too much talent from her, the guidance and advices she gave me were so important to take me far thank you MAMA. This song holds many memories in our music industry as Africa.

Congolese music has always been unique and has been identified in africa and all over the world. I had a chance to meet the legendary Kanda Bongo Man and he was so welcoming and kept advising me over the years, Kanda Bongoman speaks to me as his own child and guides me on how to maneuver in the industry. I thank you Mzee Kanda Bongoman for the consent to remake MONI and for being such a great father figure in my career since I met you.

The late Philly Bongoley Lutaaya is a Ugandan legend who waved the flag so high in is time and still speaks to many even in his absence, he championed the fight against HIV/AIDS when he came out as the first ugandan to go public with his positive HIV status. He was the best of his time and his legacy has lived with us up to date. We sat with my team and thought of redoing one is best classics Born In Africa with the aim of extending his art and legacy to a wider range of audience, the story and life of Philly Bongoley Lutaaya is one that must be known far and wide. We thank the Lutaaya family, Madam @Tezra Lutaaya and Mr Lenon Lutaaya for welcoming the idea and gave us the support we needed, your father is proud of you guys wherever he is watching us from. I thank the Big Talent Band and Jude Mugema for putting this song together and giving it the best live production.

All these classics will feature on the Made In Africa Album which will be available on 30th April 2021

And last but not least I thank all Ugandan Musicians and stake holders for promoting our country and culture from different parts of the country to the world. #MadeInAfrica."
