KEJA and KANTA Music Reconcile After Years of Conflict

The long-standing conflict between the Kasese Entertainment Journalists Association (KEJA) and KANTA Music, one of the leading music labels in Western Uganda, has finally come to an end. For years, KEJA had decided not to airplay music from KANTA on local radio stations, a move that greatly affected artists under the label, including Heli Baibe and Leader Seez.

The reason behind this rift had remained unclear to the public, but it caused a significant divide in the region's entertainment industry. However, today marked a new chapter as representatives from KEJA and KANTA Music held a meeting to resolve their differences.

Following the reconciliation meeting, KEJA released a statement acknowledging the reconciliation and highlighting the importance of unity and understanding in the entertainment industry. The statement emphasized that both parties have "buried the hatchet" and agreed to work together moving forward.

KEJA also thanked Hon. Enock for his relentless efforts in facilitating the reconciliation. The press release emphasized that humility and collaboration would guide their future relationship, ensuring a positive impact on the entertainment industry.

The news has been met with excitement from the Facebook bloggers and stakeholders in the region, who look forward to hearing KANTA Music artists, such as Heli Baibe, back on the airwaves. With this reconciliation, the entertainment industry in Kasese is expected to thrive again as both parties work together to promote local talent.

This development is a strong reminder of the power of dialogue and unity in resolving conflicts. The entertainment scene in Kasese is set for a brighter future with this renewed partnership.
