Director and filmmaker John Segawa recently expressed that Jose Chameleone deserves to be celebrated as a hero for his impact on Uganda’s music industry. According to Segawa, Chameleone’s influence paved the way for many artists, including Bobi Wine, and helped shape the industry by popularizing music in Luganda. Segawa believes that without Chameleone, Bobi Wine might not have reached his current level of fame.
Segawa referred to Chameleone as the “godfather” of the industry, saying that his work transformed Ugandan entertainment and inspired stars like Bobi Wine and Bebe Cool. In an interview, Segawa even suggested that Chameleone should be honored with a state burial for his contribution to Ugandan music when he eventually passes.
