Veteran musician Diplock Segawa
Veteran musician Diplock Segawa will finally step into the limelight with a concert of his own dubbed A Life of Melodies, slated for May 23. This marks 43 years since the release of his evergreen hit Sooka Omunoonye, a song that has become a cultural mainstay, particularly at traditional introduction ceremonies where a bride is invited to pick out her suitor from among visiting guests.
Back in 1981, Segawa was a 25-year-old student at Masaka Technical Institute when fate found him. A one Dr. Kakembo introduced him to William Lugobe, who later facilitated Segawa’s travel to London, where Sooka Omunoonye was recorded. That song would mark the beginning of an expansive musical journey that has spanned over four decades and produced over 500 songs.
Now aged 66, Segawa has crafted a legacy built on melody, family, and faith. He describes the upcoming concert as a reflection of his life one that, like a melody, flows with rhythm and purpose.
