Thinking it’s a story of love? Wait a minute.
“It’s actually a Bible story,” says Betty Namaganda, the voice behind this Luganda hit. “Jesus is the groom, the church is the bride and He said he went to prepare a place and is coming back for his church,” she explains the allusion behind her song.

In the world where you don’t just do something but you do it with precision and art, musicians find appealing ways to convey their message. “My mission being to preach the gospel, I thought of a way to make people love Jesus and couldn’t look further than love itself,” she explains the reason behind the theme of the song.

The song continues to be popular in its own right. Produced in 1994, Nali ntambula mu kubo suits today’s wedding melodies as it’s often played and at times, Namaganda is invited to perform live on wedding parties.
