Iryn Namubiru
ALL READY: The last time Iryn Namubiru had a concert was in 2016. Now years after surviving a boat cruise accident and a pandemic, the sultry songbird is back and according to her, it is the right time. Edgar R. Batte spoke to the singer about her time away, family, juggling life in two countries and of course music today.
You have a concert tomorrow after a long time, why is it important now?
I felt this was the right time and I was ready.
What are your expectations from this concert? And what should your fans expect?
I expect a good turn up as many fans were yearning for a live performance from me. Almost everybody I know is going to be there. I will put up a very good and memorable performance.
We have not heard new music from you in a while. What have you been upto?
Maybe you have not heard it but it is there. I have compiled three volumes of most of my old songs, newer songs and bonus never heard before songs. They are already on streaming platforms everywhere. My latest ones are Yegutaa and Yenze.
Your last concert was in 2016 and in-between that time, a lot has happened, including a pandemic. How has this changed your view of the industry?
True, a lot has happened and there were many setbacks. Luckily many people came back stronger. I know there may still be financial difficulties for some though.
You are from a crop of musicians who sang sweet meaningful music, and fast forward to songs that last as long as the next one, what do you think about the state of music today?
