The Pearl Rhythm Festival is back this year for its 8th edition. The festival as always will feature some of Uganda’s most prominent world music artists come Saturday, 29th and Sunday, 30th October 2022 at the Uganda National Cultural Centre from 10:00am to Midnight.
The pearl rhythm Stage Coach is also bigger and better as it will run auditions with a live audience and a countrywide TV Program as we select four (4) young and fresh artists to join the Pearl Rhythm Festival team. Talented and authentic artists will be selected to go through a two month mentorship exercise including studio production for The Pearl Rhythm Compilation CD and rehearsals. This is aimed at preparing them for their first Pearl Rhythm Festival performance in October every year.
Monthly Activations
Pearl Rhythm activations are mini-festivals held at the National Theatre every last Monday of the month from May to September in the lead-up to the main event. They show off the Stage Coach acts, new and old, and give people an idea of what they can expect at the main festival. These activations are free to enter in partnership with the Uganda National Cultural Centre, and they may also provide opportunities for our other partners to contribute and engage the Pearl Rhythm audience.
About Pearl Rhythm Foundation
The Pearl Rhythm Foundation is a local Ugandan grass roots music and creative community that aims to strengthen an independent music scene in Uganda. It was initiated and premiered in December 2012 with the objective of bringing together like-minded individuals to build, discuss and expose their ideas for a growing grass root music network in Uganda. The Pearl Rhythm Foundation offers a unique platform for those who aim to encourage the development of Ugandan cultural music, supporting the evolution of our traditional sounds and instruments, with an aim of creating a locally and internationally recognized identity for “Ugandan music,” while also improving the professionalization of the independent music sector in Uganda.
