Nyege Nyege is a festival in Uganda that promotes outsider music, primarily electronic by African artists. It was founded in 2013 by Arlen Dilsizian and Derek Debru. Its name refers to a Swahili word describing "a sudden, uncontrollable urge to dance." It started as a small gathering of music enthusiasts and has since grown into Africa's largest music and art festival, attracting visitors from over 30 countries.
