Acting Ugandan Musicians Association (UMA) President Cindy Sanyu has applauded the Ministry of Tourism for bringing together artists to compose a theme song for the upcoming MAMA Awards.
In a recent meeting with artists, Tourism Minister Hon. Kiwanda revealed that the government had set aside 300-400 million Ugandan shillings for creation of a tourism song to market Uganda.

Cindy was among artists who had opposed the hosting on MAMA awards in Uganda claiming that local musicians were never consulted.
"We have reached a point of understanding. I can't say I'm happy but I can now keep quiet and not complain anymore. I hope they do a better job next time.

"I was happy because they at least showed they care about the rest of the industry because at first they never consulted us about the nominations and bringing it in Uganda. But it's good they decided to postpone it and first discuss this with the artists," she told journalists.

Since a talent search will be conducted to identify artists to take part in the project, Cindy says she is willing to step aside and create room for upcoming artists to benefit from the initiative.
Meanwhile, Hon Kiwanda indicated that the MAMAs are most likely to happen in May after Uganda secures Covid-19 vaccine.
