Music Distribution in Uganda

From Kidandali and Afrobeat to Dancehall and Gospel, ORB Entertainment delivers your Ugandan release to Spotify, Apple Music, Boomplay, Audiomack and 150+ stores. You pay in Ugandan Shillings (UGX) and withdraw your royalties to your local bank — no dollar account needed.

Kampala's sound, on every platform

Uganda's music is loud and proud — Kidandali, Ugandan Afrobeat, Dancehall and a thriving Gospel scene fill Kampala's airwaves and the wider East African market. Boomplay and Audiomack are how a lot of your audience listens, so ORB delivers to both as first-class stores while taking you global on Spotify and Apple Music.

Payment has been the missing piece for Ugandan independents. Rather than chasing a dollar account, you subscribe in Shillings and your royalties come back to you in Shillings, withdrawn straight to a Ugandan bank.
