On Sunday, Lugogo Cricket Oval was the place to be. By midday, queues were already building up as revelers, with their picnic bags in tow made their way to the venue for the 15th edition of Blankets and Wine Kampala.
The performances were kicked off by Jemimah Sanyu who sang many of her songs off her ‘Amaaso go googera’ album.
Not only did Giovanni Kiyingi impress with the smooth sounds from his many instruments, he also showed vocal prowess. He sang some of the songs from his latest album as well as some from his highly anticipated album. By the time Hip hop artist, The Mith took to the stage, the crowd was on their feet. The rapper made his performance interactive as his band backed him up.
The day’s deejays, FEM DJ who kept the crowd entertained and dancing in between acts, and DJ Naselow who kept them dancing even after Alikiba’s performance were a thrilling addition to the lineup.
The headlining act, Ali Kiba showed just how much afro-music is loved.
When he finally kicked off his performance, it was a case of ‘who could jump highest, who would bend lowest and who would shake best.’ The artist who also loves to dance, played songs like “Cinderella”, “Nakshi Nakshi” “Usiniseme” “Dushelele” “Single Boy” which brought out some insane dance strokes from revelers.
