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 TikTok 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 Rather than chasing a dollar account, you subscribe in Shillings and your royalties come back to you in Shillings, withdrawn straight to a Ugandan bank.

What you need to release from Uganda

Tick these off for ORB approval within 24 hours; each store then controls processing and final availability:

• Your mastered track — WAV preferred for the best store quality
• Cover art at 3000×3000 pixels, no logos or web addresses
• Correct song titles, songwriter credits and a release date
• A Ugandan bank account to withdraw royalties in Shillings
