Prince Paulo Kafeero (born Paul Job Kafeero 12 July 1970(born)- 17 May 2007(died)) was a celebrated Ugandan Afro-folk singer.[1] During his career as a musician, Kafeero won several prestigious awards. In both 2003 and 2004, Kafeero won the PAM Awards for best Kadongo Kamu artist/group.[2]
Education[]
In 1977, Kafeero began school at Nkokonjjeru Demonstration Primary School, and went on to Ngogwe Baskerville secondary school, walking the four kilometres there each day. In the same year he began school, his father left the family. Because of his mother's opposition to his interest in music, he went to stay in the nearby village of Masaba with his older sister Grace and her husband. Grace's husband intermittently paid his school fees after his father's abandonment. With no secure source of school fees, Kafeero did not finish secondary school. He earned money by making bricks, cultivating beans, selling used clothes, and tailoring. Kafeero's father gave no further support and had no contact with his son until he became famous.[3]
