In a recent interview, Namaganda recalled that during her childhood, Christmas was marked by extravagant feasting. “We would eat so much that we would even lose our breath,” she said with a laugh, illustrating the exuberance of their holiday gatherings. To alleviate the discomfort from overeating, she humorously noted that they would apply Vaseline on their stomachs to help smoothen and open the pores, allowing them to breathe better after indulging in heavy meals.
As one of the pioneering female artists in Uganda’s gospel music scene, Namaganda has inspired many with her catchy lyrics and heartfelt melodies. Although she took a break from music to focus on her businesses and marriage, she occasionally returns to the stage to perform her beloved hits when invited.
Namaganda’s reflections on Christmas traditions not only celebrate personal memories but also resonate with many Ugandans who cherish similar experiences during the festive season. Her stories remind listeners of the importance of family, togetherness, and the joy that comes with celebrating cultural traditions.
