In Uganda, back in the 90s, legendary artists had a distinctive and rather unique ‘image’ associated with them. For example celebrated Kadongo Kamu hit maker Paul Kafeero was identified by his famous Fedora hat that always stood out as his signature look. The ladies in this genre always donned traditional Kiganda 'Gomesi'.

Fast forward to the new generation, artists have mastered the art of fashion. The evolution has seen artists like Ykee Benda always make a fashion statement every time they step out. Despite the design that he is donning, the Mpaka Records boss will always sneak in a hat and a neck chain.

Kabako is one of the most vibrant Uganda artists on stage; during his live performances and every time he makes a public appearance, he is always in shorts. He has made a statement as an artist who will never put on long pants. The recent occasion was when he showed up for fellow artist Nubian Li's wedding all suited up, but in shorts.
