Rest in peace, Sammy Kasule
May 7, 2021 Sammy Kasule
In 2013, legendary bassist Sammy Kasule returned to Uganda to settle after decades abroad. Kasule went ahead to lend his amazing talent to Afrigo band and later Ziwuuna band, before his death last week in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
He was buried in Stockholm, Sweden, a country he called home for more than 30 years. In tribute, we reproduce what he told
The Observer in this 2014 interview with Simon Musasizi:
There are so many great bass guitarists, but there is one that has shown mastery and virtuosity beyond understanding. He is someone that will drive young and gifted guitarists like Mike Ouma out of their seats just to see how he does it.
