1 | What's the Verdict on Uganda@50 Independence Song? | Nanao Ahoana Ny Valin'ny Fifaninanan-Kira Uganda@50 ? |
2 | Uganda gained its independence on 9 October, 1962, making it 50 years independent this year. | Nahazo ny fahaleovantenany i Ogandà tamin'ny 9 Oktobra 1962, ka feno 50 taona izany amin'ity taona ity. |
3 | Many activities are going on around the country, and because music is part and parcel of national culture - and one of the fastest growing industries in the country - there had to be an official celebration song. | Maro ny fandaharan'asa tanterahina amin'izany manerana ny firenena, ary satria moa ao anatin'ny kolontsaina nasionaly ny mozika - sady iray amin'ny fandraharahana hainga-piroborobo indrindra - dia heverina ho misy koa ny hira ofisialy fankalazana azy. |
4 | Yoga Yoga (meaning ‘congratulations' in Luganda) is the official song that features Ugandan artists including Esther Nabaasa, Ruyonga, Barbara Kayaga, Hum Kay and Richard Kaweesa. | Yoga Yoga (midika hoe ‘arahabaina' any Luganda) ny hira ofisialy nasongadin'ny Artista Ongadey ahitana an'i Esther Nabaasa, Ruyonga, Barbara Kayaga, Hum Kay ary Richard Kaweesa. |
5 | You can listen to the song below or download it here. | Azonao henoina etsy ambany ilay hira na trohina ato. |
6 | Many Ugandans came out and commented on the song via social media platforms, some of them praising the song while others saying it neither represents all Ugandans nor Ugandan culture: | Maro ny Ogandey no nivoaka [tamin'ny fahanginany] ka niresaka momba ilay hira tamin'ny alalan'ny sehatry ny tambajotran-tserasera, ny sasany nidera ilay hira raha ny hafa kosa miteny fa tsy mahasolo tena ny kolontsaina Ongadey rehetra iny: |
7 | Javie Ssozi thinks the song has great vocals: | Javie Ssozi mieritreritra fa tena tsara ny feon'ilay hira: |
8 | @jssozi : Celebrating #Uganda50 in Style - The theme song #YogaYoga is super vocal.. http://soundcloud.com/thenewvision/official-jubilee-song … | Fankalazàna ny #Oganda50 - tsara [sy ilaina] angoan-tenda ny lohahevitr'ilay hira #YogaYoga.. |
9 | Rosebell Kagumire (a Global Voices contributor) thinks the song is great: | Rosebell Kagumire (mpandray anjara ato amin'ny Global Voices) mieritreritra fa tsara ilay hira: |
10 | @rosebellk: And here is the Theme Song as #Uganda celebrates 50 years of Independence. | @rosebellk: And here is the Theme Song as #Uganda celebrates 50 years of Independence. |
11 | Great one! | Great one! |

15 | Patrick Mugumya thinks the song is good but wonders why it has a repetitious name and thinks its not very groovy: | Patrick Mugumya mieritreritra fa tsara ilay hira saingy manontany hoe nahoana no misy anarana verindroa ary eritreretiny ihany koa fa tsy groovy loatra ilay hira: |
16 | @mugumya: Got two problems with the Jubilee Song #YogaYoga: 1. Name (why name it twice) 2. It aint too groovy (danceable). | Manana olana roa amin'ny hiran-jobily #YogaYoga: 1. Anarana (maninona no miverin-droa) 2. Tsy mampandihy loatra. |
17 | Otherwise its cool | Ankoatra izay tsara. |
18 | Tusiime K Samson thinks the song sounds too foreign: | Tusiime K Samson mieritreritra fa manavahiny loatra ilay hira: |
19 | @Samwyri : Gerald Kiwewa RT @primagaba: This #YogaYoga song is foreign!! even the accents were purchased on some foreign tarmac! | Gerald Kiwewa RT @prismagaba: vahiny io #YogaYoga io!! na ny filantony aza tahaka ny nalaina tamin'ny kianja vahiny! |
20 | #LooksforRonaldMayinja Mark Keith Muhumuza thinks the song sounds more South African than Ugandan: | Mark Keith Muhumuza mieritreritra fa tahaka ny Afrikana Tatsimo kokoa ilay hira fa tsy Ogandey loatra: |
21 | @mumakeith: The #yogayoga song sounds like it is from South Africa. | Tahaka ny avy any Afrika atsimo ilay #yogayoga. |
22 | Especially the Chorus… Its a good song but just doesn't feel like #Uganda@50 | Indrindra fa ny choeur… Tsara fa tahaka ny tsy mifandraika amin'ny #Uganda@50 |
23 | Commenting on a story at the New Vision website, Rodgers criticizes the opposition for opposing every government move including the song, however useful the move might be: | Ao amin'ny fanehoan-kevitra amin'ny vohikalam-baovao iray i Rodgers mitsikera ny mpanohitra noho ny fanoherana ny zava-drehetra eny fa na dia ny hira aza, na dia mety ho tena ilaina aza ilay zavatra: |
24 | It's unfortunate that we have a group of Ugandans that will oppose everything that comes to their mind. | Indrisy moa fa misy ny vondrona Ogandey hanohitra ny zava-drehetra tonga ao an-dohany. |
25 | Style up guys, opposition does not mean opposing everything. | Akaro ny resaka zalahy, tsy midika fanoherana ny zava-drehetra ny atao hoe mpanohitra. |
26 | Good work from those talented Ugandans, who know what to do at the right time. | Tsara ny asan'ireo mpanatalenta Ogandey, fantatrareo ny zavatra ataonareo amin'ny fotoana mahamety izany. |
27 | Reacting to the same story, Francis notes that the song is good to listen to, but is not motivational: | Miresaka momba ity tantara iray ity ihany, Francis manamarika fa tsara henoina ny hira, saingy tsy mampavitrika loatra: |
28 | While the song is good to listen to , it does not , provoke or motivate jubilation. | Raha tsara henoina ny hira, tsy mampifaly mihoraka loatra. |
29 | If we need a Jubilation song, musicians have to go back to the drawing bard. | Raha mila hira mampihoraka isika, dia mila miverina hatramin'ny fandrafetan-kira ny mpitendry mozika. |
30 | It should be a song that most Ugandans will associate with. | Tokony hira mampifandray ny Ogandey rehetra io. |
31 | When the jubilation song is played, it should not leave any one seated. | Raha hira mampifaly mihoraka izany tsy mamela olona iray hipetrapetraka eny an-tseza izany. |
32 | Check how songs like Hakuna Matata, Wipolo or We go We go or the World cup songs change the atmosphere when played. | Jereo anie ny hira tahaka ny Hakuna Matata, Wipolo na We go We go na ireny hira mpandeha amin'ny amboara erantany ireny e! |
33 | However, the song should be able to appeal even beyond the borders of Uganda. | Saingy, tokony afa-misarika izay ivelan'ny sisintanin'i Ogandà ihany koa ny hira. |
34 | Let musicians compose songs and Ugandans choose the one they feel should be a jubilee song. | Avelao ny mpahay mozika hamoron-kira dia ny Ogandey rehetra no mifidy ny iray amin'izay heveriny ho hiran-jobily. |
35 | Ugandan Economic Monitoring State Minister, Henry Banyenzaki, launched the song in Kampala at the Independence Monument on 5 September 2012. | Ny Minisi-Panjakana Ogandey manaramaso ny toekarena, Henry Banyenzaki, no nandefa voalohany ny hira teo amin'ny tsangambaton'ny Fahaleovantena tao Kampala tamin'ny 5 Septambra 2012. |
