Moses Matovu is a Ugandan musician and saxophonist.[1] He is one of the founders of Afrigo Band, Uganda's longest-lasting band, founded in 1975.[2][3][4]

Early childhood and education

Matovu was born on 19 June 1949 in Kawempe Division, Kampala District to Abdallah Bukenya and Solome Nakitto.[5] When his parents separated, he moved to Mengo, with his mother at the age of five. He spent most of his childhood with his mother. He attended Namirembe Primary School and later Kibuli Secondary School.[6] He also attended Pillai's Secondary School. However, Matovu's education was cut short in 1966 when traditional institutions were abolished. He was on scholarship from Buganda Kingdom. With no opportunity to continue in school, Matovu concentrated on football and also joined the music industry in 1967 as a vocalist with the Thunderbirds Band.[5]

Music

Matovu has been in Uganda's music industry for close to 45 years. He started out in Thunderbirds Band in 1967 as a vocalist. From there, he joined the Police Band in 1968 and later Cranes Band in 1969 before he and other friends formed Afrigo Band in 1974.[2] He has been performing with the band since and is its leader, as of February 2015.[7]
