There is a completely new set of gospel starts, at least according to The Victoria Gospel Agency (VIGA) who are organising gospel awards in conjunction with the Federation of Gospel Artists of Uganda.

The organisations have announced the list of nominees for this year’s gospel musicians who excelled in various categories, and guess what! Traditional names in the gospel music industry such as Pastor Wilson Bugembe and Buikwe MP Judith Babirye are no show.

Hill Water

The list which has several new comers will see new stars born on the Grand Event which will take place at the Imperial Royale Hotel Primrose hall on Saturday 14th January, 2017. Viga awards have given several gospel musicians a platform for recognition.

According to Nicholas Nyombi, the organiser of the VIGA Awards, the nominees will be voted for via SMS and social media.
