Papa Moi defined music, the rest must posthumously learn from him - The Observer Media Ltd

A tribute in The Observer Media Ltd recounts the life and impact of Moses Matovu, who was killed in Kibuli last Thursday. The writer says he knew Matovu only briefly, including interviews more than 20 years ago and organizing events where Matovu’s Afrigo band performed. Matovu is depicted as calm, impeccably dressed, and resilient—having survived Uganda’s wars and extrajudicial killings in the 1970s and early 1980s, when colleagues were killed and the band’s equipment was looted, yet the group reassembled and continued. The article highlights Afrigo’s discipline and longevity, noting its 50th anniversary performance last August at Millennium grounds in Lugogo, and suggests the community must now carry forward his musical legacy.
