People of Fury and Wilder, you will excuse me but I have a very important question.

Who are the sexiest Ugandan celebrities today?
Why on Earth don’t I have a single celebrity I am crushing on? Doesn’t that speak to the death of this industry?

Imagine in those days the things Barbara Yata did to me. Just her name alone would cause you to start dreaming about the endless possibilities of life.

Then we had Karitas. Oba who uses to give these people names? There was a full thought process that went into these days, forget these things of Zahara Toto.

Now I hear even Lilian Barenzi abandoned us and opted for the US Navy.

Those days just hearing the name Seanice Kacungira would get you singing; “Tweyagale.” How do we explain to the next generation that Full Figure was on the top list?

What did we do as an industry?

Whatever it’s faults, WBS TV is the best thing that ever happened to this industry. It built it from scratch….

Someone bring back the good old days where Omwana would ask for meleva, you give her milk nabuuka…

Big Talent boss Eddy Kenzo recently called for a press briefing and surprised the media that expected he was announcing his usual annual concert but instead announced he would be holding a festival. It is the first of it’s kind from a Ugandan artiste.

A festival is an all day event that cuts across various activities from kid’s park, different stages and caters for all age groups.

Eddy Kenzo will hold his festival on the 28th of March at Kololo airstrip and he will use the same day to give back to his fans. While he will as expected perform, he will also have goodies to give to the fans like motocycles, helicopter rides among other offers.

Eddy Kenzo being the most travelled artiste in Uganda could have imported an idea that will so much be the new trend for big artistes in the country. For the past 20 years, artistes have been holding night concerts and obviously that leaves out a certain section of their fans, the festival is a much better option for fans to celebrate their stars.

Eddy Kenzo has invited all fellow artistes to grace the event.
