It seems Forbes is forgetting that there are musicians in Uganda who are making money in Music and need to be considered. Through the ages, Music has grown from just a talent to a business, people who used to sing just as a hobby now do it for commercial purposes, and most of these musicians you are always hearing on the radios are making some money, in one way or the other. Some of them have been able to build themselves houses, cars, but very few musicians are making huge sums of money(Richest Musicians). I mean real money and the rest of them have nothing more than a car they ride, costumes and a few household materials like a TV and a decoder.
