She will now be releasing an 11-track album titled ‘From the sun’ next Saturday for lovers of afro-based music. The album launch will be held on Saturday, August 24 at The Square and will be powered by Tusker Malt.
“This concert means everything. It is the truest representation of who MoRoots is in this moment in time. A glimpse into the transition and love I’ve experienced these last few years. The sound is different. It’s rock. It’s funk. It’s electronic. It’s soulful. It’s cinematic. It’s all the things I love.” MoRoots noted.
The show will be her first public performance of songs from her debut album From The Sun exploring themes of home (Uganda), love and transition. It will be an eclectic blend of MoRoots’ vast musical ability to combine soul, jazz, funk and classical music with soulful vocals.
The concert will also feature the highly acclaimed CTRLAD band starting at 7 pm at The Square Place. Tickets to the show go for shs50,000.
