This landmark event not only celebrated three decades of the king’s reign but also highlighted Uganda's rich living heritage as a major attraction for global tourism.
The four-day event began with a royal tour led by His Majesty Rukirabasaija Omukama Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV, alongside HRH Princess Ruth Nsemere Komuntale Akiiki and Her Royal Majesty Queen Dr. Best Olimi Kemigisa Akiiki.
According to Bafana, the festival, with its low entry fee and a multitude of performers, is a symptom of a deeper problem that is demeaning local artists and dragging the industry backwards.
The event is not just a concert but a unique opportunity to boost tourism in Uganda, with Spice’s arrival set to highlight the rich cultural and historical heritage of the Kingdom of Buganda.
The track had already captivated fans since the album's release in May, thanks to its smooth afro-beats rhythm and catchy melody, but the video was poised to add a new layer of depth.
Among the night’s highlights was the announcement of Jjumba Lubowa Aligaweesa, a Ugandan folk musician and spiritual leader, as the winner of Best World Music for his song “Stress.”
Bobi Wine expressed pride in his brother’s journey, but added that Dax Vibez’s rise to fame was a result of his own hard work and determination, not through the influence of his well-known siblings.
The event, presented by Talent Africa Group, will take place at the Ndeere Cultural Centre and marks a significant milestone in the career of the 24-year-old musician who has been captivating audiences worldwide with his unique sound.
The event was a spectacular display of high fashion, with guests arriving in exquisite gowns and sharp, tailored suits, each ensemble elevated by an intricate mask.
The show, which is a staple on Kampala’s entertainment calendar, is set to be a triumphant celebration following the Uganda Cranes' emphatic win over South Africa in the CHAN 2024 tournament.
The members spoke with a sense of gratitude about their longevity in the music industry, a feat they said will be hard to replicate by any other band in the near future.
Olomide is set to headline a special guest performance at the "Legends of Sound – Afrigo at 50 Golden Jubilee Concert," a landmark celebration of Afrigo Band's five decades of musical excellence.
Bobi Wine has been prevented from holding musical performances for approximately seven years, with subsequent attempts to organise events being forcefully broken up by the police.
Music enthusiasts can now take advantage of a flash ticket sale, running from today, Thursday, July 31st, until August 6th, offering discounted rates on all ticket categories.
This intimate gathering drew a curated guest list of prominent fashionistas, influencers, and style personalities, including the renowned Abryanz Crew, Mami Deb, Juan Nsabiye, and Samantha Okullo.
