By Our Reporter There are parties, and then there are rituals.

Silo 15 turned two, yet many people feel like the place has…

By Our Reporter There’s a quiet magic in leaning into the old songs that raised you, the fits that remind you of who you were, and the slow days that ask little of you. On Sunday, the third edition of the Old Skool RnB Picnic officially marked its territory on Kampala’s social calendar with a creamy, decadent upgrade as Baileys joined the party for the very first time. “Seeing the people come together to slow down and savor these moments is exactly why we partnered with the picnic,” said Nancy Nansikombi, Baileys Brand Manager. “Baileys is a versatile canvas for…

And of course Kololo- where our leaders, diplomats and the affluent stay. All these places have built a reputation; none seem to have the catch and finesse of Bandali. To be clear, Bandali is not even the name of the place; it’s a street- Bandali Rise, just like Broadway in New York, yet it has somehow become the second name of Kampala’s party scene. In fact, there are many songs that…
