Renowned Alur artist, Bushy D' King, is calling on politicians to engage him for campaign songs ahead of the 2026 general elections.

"As we approach the campaign period for the 2026 general elections, you can book us for a campaign song," Bushy posted on his social media stories.

Bushy, known for producing several political and campaign songs for past candidates, says his intention is to help popularize politicians' manifestos through music.

"We don’t do politics, but we deliver your manifesto through music to your voters," he explained.

Verati De Classic Man, a sports pundit and prominent figure in the Alur Music Foundation, advised artists to be strategic when taking on such projects.

"Artists should plan carefully and secure meaningful returns from these projects — something they can reinvest in or benefit from even after the political season is over," Verati remarked.

However, he cautioned emerging artists about the risks involved in aligning with political figures, noting that established musicians like Bushy D' King have stronger foundations to withstand any backlash.

"Politics can be divisive. If you align with one side, those opposing that candidate may turn against you. In some cases, politicians who own media houses could influence whether your songs get airplay. If you’re not solidly established, it could ruin your career," Verati warned.

Rasta Longe, a legendary Alur artist who refers to himself as the "President of Alur Music," described political projects as highly lucrative, encouraging fellow artists to embrace such opportunities when approached by politicians.

"It’s a profitable venture, but my colleagues need to negotiate well. Politicians often fail to fulfill agreed terms," Longe advised.

He drew from his own experience, having composed a major political song for Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni during the 2011 elections. Longe emphasized that music is a business and urged fans, voters, and political camps to avoid discrimination and hostility toward artists for supporting particular candidates.

As the 2026 general elections draw closer, the intersection of music and politics in the Alur community continues to shape both the political and artistic landscapes.
