Welcome to Omega Bugembe Okello's Website. Scroll Down to View more Updates.


On the evening of October 10th, I will have the great honor of headlining at a benefit concert organized by the Village Enterprise Fund. This is a cause near and dear to my heart. Village Enterprise Fund has developed and refined a successful program that combines training, seed capital grants and ongoing mentorship to help committed, hard-working people launch small businesses in East Africa.
Village Enterprise Fund will be hosting Anti-Poverty week events throughout the week of October 10th – October 17th. These events coincide with the United Nations’ Global Anti-Poverty Day on October 17th. Their goal is to raise awareness and come together to do all they can to stop hunger and severe poverty, giving those who are suffering a voice and hope for their future. I am proud to be representing a noble and vital cause such as this.
All proceeds support the work of Village Enterprise Fund in East Africa.

“Start with the timeless message that God is always with us. Add a lovely, lilting voice. Then drench them both with the rhythms of the Motherland. The results are an irresistible musical treat for my Sunday morning listeners!”

"A fresh new voice with a great new cd, great production, soaring vocals......it just doesn’t happen all that often that you get a new cd by an African artist that really excites you.    Especially a new artist you’ve never heard of.  Well, it happened to me with Omega’s new cd and I’m spinning it regularly.  A great debut!"
