The BATAKA SQUAD are the pioneers of HIP HOP in Uganda and the ORIGINATORS of the LUGA FLOW. Motivated to innovate, these trail blazers have fought to gain recognition raping in there native tongue called LUGANDA. Their radical rhyming skills and revolutionary slogans have changed the overall view of hip-hop in Uganda. Slogans like TUJJABABYA meaning (we will blow them up) and WANSI WAGULU KYEKILIYO (meaning up and down, what’s there? the police is on a steak-out) have spread the city streets from Kampala to the villages setting a tone of social awareness. Their vision of using music to inspire the youth to get involved in activities of positive change in there community has brought new hope for the ghetto youth in Uganda. The Bataka Squad members have took on new projects that are designed to reach out to the kids and mothers living in the ghettos. They strongly believe that through their music they will be able to build a peoples movement that represents peace, love equality and unity. The Bataka Squads blue print is defined as the foundation of the LUGA FLOW FLAVOR CAMP, a camp that’s dedicated to promoting all artist who rap in their mother tongues in Uganda. Their aim is to help the young talented youth of Uganda gain confidence in promoting their culture on a global scale.
