Music has a special way of bringing people together, even when they come from different countries. Rwanda and Uganda have shared a strong connection through entertainment, with artists crossing borders to work together and introduce their music to new audiences.

Over the years, these collaborations have helped connect the music scenes of Kigali and Kampala. Some songs may bring back memories for longtime fans, while others remind us of the friendship and creativity that continue to shape East African entertainment.

At Peak Stan, we have selected eight songs we believe deserve to be remembered. This is not a complete list of every collaboration between Rwandan and Ugandan artists, but a look back at some of the songs worth revisiting.

1. Urban Boys ft. Jackie Chandiru — “Take It Off”

Rwandan group Urban Boys joined Ugandan singer Jackie Chandiru for “Take It Off.” The collaboration brought artists from both countries together and became part of the shared musical history between Rwanda and Uganda.

2. Knowless Butera ft. Vampino — “Byemere”

Rwandan singer Knowless Butera teamed up with Ugandan artist Vampino on “Byemere.” Their collaboration is another reminder of how artists from neighbouring countries can come together to create music that reaches beyond their home markets.

3. Geosteady ft. Charly na Nina — “Owooma”

Ugandan singer Geosteady worked with Rwandan duo Charly na Nina on “Owooma.” The collaboration connected different voices from the region and gave fans another song to remember from the Rwanda–Uganda music connection.

4. The Ben ft. Sheebah Karungi — “Binkolera”

Rwandan R&B singer The Ben joined Ugandan star Sheebah Karungi for “Binkolera.” Bringing together artists with their own audiences, the song represents the cross-border partnerships that have helped connect East African music fans.

5. DJ Pius ft. Jose Chameleone — “Agatako”

Rwandan artist DJ Pius teamed up with Ugandan music star Jose Chameleone on “Agatako.” The collaboration linked two music scenes and remains one of the songs to revisit when remembering Rwanda–Uganda musical partnerships.

6. Sheebah Karungi ft. Bruce Melodie — “Embeera Zo”

Ugandan singer Sheebah Karungi collaborated with Rwandan hitmaker Bruce Melodie on “Embeera Zo.” Their partnership shows how artists can work across borders while bringing their individual styles and audiences together.

7. Tom Close ft. Radio & Weasel — “Mama Wabana”

Rwandan singer Tom Close joined Ugandan duo Radio & Weasel for “Mama Wabana.” The collaboration is a reminder of the musical links built between the two countries by artists who were willing to work together.

8. “AMALON” — Single ft. Weasel

Weasel’s musical catalogue is also worth exploring when looking back at Uganda’s connections with the wider East African music scene. However, this track should only be included in a Rwanda–Uganda collaboration list if a Rwandan artist’s involvement can be confirmed.

These songs represent just a selection of the music that has connected Rwanda and Uganda over the years. Behind every collaboration is an opportunity for artists to share ideas, reach new listeners, and bring fans together through a common love of music.

As East African entertainment continues to grow, these partnerships remain worth remembering. They show that music can travel across borders and help build relationships between artists, audiences, and countries.
