Alifchief

**Alifchief** (real name Allan Ampeire) is a Ugandan musician and producer whose genre-blurring sound fuses traditional East African rhythms with electronic experimentation, Afrobeat, and dancehall. Emerging from Kampala's vibrant underground scene, he's become a key figure in the Nyege Nyege collective, a hub for boundary-pushing African electronic music. His tracks often feature the adungu (a Ugandan harp) and Lusoga-language vocals, grounding his futurist beats in cultural roots. Releases like *Eh Banange!* and *Adungu Blues* showcase his knack for turning folk traditions into dancefloor fuel, while collaborations (like *nusantarafrika*) highlight his connection to Southeast Asia's experimental music networks. Whether remixing his own work (*Yearning (Remix)*) or delivering bass-heavy bangers (*Buzz Like Flies*), Alifchief embodies Uganda's new wave of globalized, yet locally rooted, electronic innovators.
