A highlight before The Mith's performance was a high-energy dance showcase from the Noise Nation crew, known for their breakdance and dancehall routines, adding to the anticipation.
As the lights dimmed and the instrumental of the Ugandan national anthem played, the crowd erupted in anticipation for The Mith’s entrance.
Backed by the talented Double Black band, The Mith delivered a dynamic performance, treating the audience to a mix of his greatest hits, including “Lighter,” “Eh Mama,” with RnB artist Maro, and “Go Hard.”
His set was a celebration of both his personal journey and the rich legacy of Ugandan Hip Hop.
“The Ugandan Live” was not just a concert, but also a celebration of community and family.
Among the attendees was The Mith's family friend, Senior Presidential Advisor on Industry, Amelia Kyambadde, along with the artist’s parents, whose presence added a heartfelt touch to the evening.
The intimate gathering underscored the deep-rooted connections within the Ugandan music industry, making the night even more special.
The event successfully honoured the roots and future of Ugandan Hip Hop, leaving fans eager for what’s to come next in the vibrant music scene.
