We all recall when Fik Gaza stated that International artistes search him out and ask for collaborations with him because of his great talent Collaborations? Well, many people have been wondering why he is not releasing the collabos he talked about before.
When Davido came to Uganda, Fik Gaza stated that this was not the first time someone showed interest in making music with him because even when Konshens came to Uganda, he sought him out, asking him for a collabo (he even called it begging), something he attributed to his great talent.
Many Ugandans were therefore left in anticipation of this collaboration with many wondering how it was going to come out. Fik Gaza had already assured his fans that the song with Konshens was already being worked on and they had nothing to worry about so you can imagine the anticipation his fans had.

As well all know, Collaborations between artists from different countries and cultures (of course with different languages) are only possible when both parties have a common language they can use as a form of communication. Honestly, the new norm is collabos with International artistes so any one that can land a collabo with a big name International artiste is liable to hit it big in the Ugandan Music industry.
According to Fik Gaza however, the major hindrance that stops most collabos from happening is language barrier. During an interview on the Deep Talk with Mr Henrie that aired on Galaxy TV, Fik Gaza, citing from his personal experience narrated that during their collaboration on the hit song “Banana” with Jose Chameleon and Konshens, he found himself struggling to communicate effectively with Konshens.
Fik Gaza narrates that whereas Jose Chameleone was quite fluent in the Jamaican dialect known as the Patois, he had no idea what they were talking about as he could not keep up with the language. For Fik Gaza therefore, the major issue was language barrier that nearly discouraged him from continuing with the collaboration.
Not only did Fik Gaza feel left out but he also reached an extent where Konshens and Chameleone were communicating about the song and being part of the collabo, he had to listen in and keep up but he found it hard understanding what the pair were saying.
Fik Gaza however recalls that he decided to focus on the music rather than the conversations he did not understand.

“I could not understand their words. Everything they said sounded new to my ears. They were using the Jamaican Patois dialect and Jose Chameleone seemed well versed with it while I was struggling to even listen to their conversation.” Said Fik Gaza
