Jose Chameleone

Jose Chameleone, born Joseph Mayanja, is a Ugandan music legend often hailed as the "King of African Music" for his genre-blending sound that mixes Afrobeat, reggae, dancehall, and traditional Ugandan rhythms. With a career spanning over two decades, he’s become a household name across East Africa, known for hits like *Kipepeo* (and its remix), *Byabanene*, and *Banana (Remix)*. His music often carries themes of love, social commentary, and cultural pride, delivered in his signature soulful voice. Recent tracks like *I Do* and *Nzigulira* show he’s still pushing boundaries while staying true to his roots.

Beyond music, Chameleone is a cultural icon with a larger-than-life persona. He’s dipped into politics, running for mayor of Kampala in 2021, and comes from a musical dynasty—his brothers Weasel and Pallaso are also chart-topping artists. Whether he’s dropping remixes like *Sanyu Sanyu* or rallying crowds with his electrifying stage presence, Jose Chameleone remains a powerhouse shaping Uganda’s entertainment scene.
