    Elly Wamala (13 December 1935 – 22 August 2004) was a Ugandan musician.[1] On 22 August 2004, he succumbed to throat cancer at Mulago Hospital.[2] Wamala was one of Uganda's first musicians to release a recorded song and have it become a commercial hit in the 1950s when he released Nabutono.

    The song was so successful that it caught the attention of a nation[where?] and Kabaka Edward Mutesa II who regularly summoned Wamala to his court to perform the song. After Nabutono, Wamala's next release was Josephine and it also became a hit.
