Ethan Musoke and Ronny Ssemujju are the latest Ugandans to feature in the recent episode of The Voice Africa connected by Airtel.
The two graced the stage last Sunday performing ‘Jealous‘ by Labrinth and ‘Fix You’ by Coldplay respectively. These performances follow Desire Tusiimire, who performed in the second episode making it 3 Ugandans who have so far featured on The Voice Africa blind auditions.
Ronny and Desire were selected by coach Awilo, progressing to the next level of the competition. However, no coach turned during Ethan’s performance, leading to his elimination.
Of the 7 Ugandan representatives, 4 are yet to perform. This presents an opportunity for Uganda to have more contenders who advance to the next stage of the competition.
During blind auditions, coaches need to be captivated by the talent’s voice. If they are captivated, they push a button to select the talent for their team. This talent is someone they will coach and possibly turn into the next superstar.
When one gets lucky and more than one coach pushes the button, the contestant gets to choose the coach they want to work with. If no coach turns the contestant gets eliminated.
Yemi Alade, Awilo Longomba, Lady Jaydee, and Charles Locko Samba from Cameroon will coach the talents who successfully audition. Dakore Igbuson and Gaetano Kaggwa host weekly shows.
The episodes have attracted millions across Africa and the world over as each of the 14 countries is excited to know who represents them. There are ten participating countries: Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, Madagascar, Chad, DRC, Malawi, Niger, Zambia, Seychelles, and Nigeria as the host country.
