The Uganda Musicians Association (UMA) has released a statement expressing deep sadness and paying tribute to the late singer Evelyn Nakabira, widely known as Evelyn Lagu or Evelyn Love. The talented artist passed away on September 18, 2023.
Evelyn Lagu had been courageously battling kidney and heart complications before her unfortunate demise, as confirmed by her beloved son and through official communications on her social media platforms.
In their statement, UMA expressed their profound sorrow at the untimely passing of one of Uganda’s finest artistes, a singer, and actress who had made a significant impact in the music and acting industry.

The Uganda Musicians Association extended their deepest condolences to Evelyn Lagu’s family, friends, and all those who cherished her artistry. They concluded their message by wishing her soul eternal peace and pledged their support to her grieving family.
Evelyn Lagu is survived by her son, and her biography reveals a journey marked by determination and resilience. Born in Kalungu, Masaka, on June 1, 1982, she faced the tragic loss of both her parents at an early age, never having met her father. Despite these challenges, she moved to Mityana, where she received loving care from her aunt, a midwife, and her husband, the late George William Lubega. She continued her education in Mityana, ultimately completing her A-level education at St. Peter’s SS Busubizi in 1999.
Throughout her illustrious career, Evelyn Lagu left an indelible mark on the Ugandan music and film industry. She showcased her talent with Mustard and Flash bands, providing backup vocals for renowned artistes such as the late Carol Nakimera, Halima Namakula, Ragga Dee, and Makoma.
