Roots/ world music artist and humanitarian. Ssali Hytham Muserebende a voice to the voiceless children grew up in an adventurous landscape of Bugerere in Uganda’s district of Kayunga on the shores of a mythical River Ssezibwa. Ssali has lived up to his childhood dream of becoming a world musician. As a child he started music by gathering and beating toys to create instrumentation for the folksongs blended with lullabies. His talent has grown having shared stages with some of the reknown artists including the legend late Elly Wamala, late Prince Mawanda, late Carol Nakimera, Frank Mbalire, late Fred Masagazi, Deo Mukungu, the London based Galaxy Band and Let’s Go Banana – a Netherlands based band.

His finely revamped vocal blended together with blistering melodies and catchy experimentation of thumb piano, Tube Fiddle, variation of African drums backed up by Western keyboards, Percussion and Bass kicks, make Ssali’s performances groovy and vibrantly marking his musical legacy.
