DJ Mackus was the big winner as Evoke Night returned for the third season on Friday evening at Lugogo Forest Mall parking.
Dubbed “The Rebirth”, the first episode of the new season saw deejays pitted against dancers in a battle for 1 million shillings. Mackus faced off with other finalists who included two other deejays— Dj Wiz J & Dj Irakoze —and three dance groups— Archers, H2C & Trojans —with each contestant getting a chance at winning over the crowd with a showcase of their skill.
The dancers put on an energetic show, and the deejays were also thrilling, with every act ending with cheers and applause from the audience. However, as it later turned out, it was Mackus who had managed to woo the crowd with his artistry on the decks as he emerged victor.
The Club-sponsored event was not short on fun and entertainment with lots of other activities and performances lined up to keep revelers engaged. Revelers enjoyed spoken word, dance showcases, dj mixes, fashion show and movie screening as different acts including Laker, Afrikane and Evoke Band took over the stage.
Evoke Night made its debut on the Ugandan social calendar in September 2017. It is a show that celebrates raw, untapped talent by providing a platform for young and gifted performers to showcase, communicate and express themselves through art. The next episode will be held this May in Mbarara.
