The legendary group marked the milestone at the 'Legends Of Sound' concert held at the Kampala Sheraton Hotel Gardens on Saturday June 5.

The show sold out quickly, and organizers were forced on D-DAY to allow more ticket sales and provide more room in the gardens for more revelers.

Hitting the stage at around 10 PM in the night, Awilo had everybody up to their feet, rocking and whining to some of his great hits. Some of the classics he performed include, Coupe Bibamba, Monyen Té, and Gate le Coin.

Later on, at the crowd's demand, he returned to the stage to do 'Carolina.' He also joined Afrigo to do ‘Jim Wange.’
