Fans of Awilo Longomba have an opportunity to reunite with one of Congolese music’s greats when the soukous star takes to the stage at the Kampala Serena Hotel this Friday.
The flamboyant Congolese legend jetted into town on Wednesday with his entire Paris band and his legion of fans can surely expect an overdose of the energetic moves that have endeared him to Uganda and the rest of Africa over the years.
Speaking to the media, Awilo said, “Uganda holds a special place in my heart, and I am excited to be back here after 20 years.”
“My band and I are ready for you and promise to give you the best.” He added.
Awilo who is popular for songs like like “Rosalina”, “Coupe Bibamba” and “Karoline” among others started his music career back in 1995 when he quit drumming to take up singing and has established himself over the years as one of Africa’s finest artistes of his generation.
Meanwhile, Uganda’s top artistes that include Eddy Kenzo, Levizone, Cindy, and Jackie Chandiru will also be performing at the show.
The show is organised by Cents Events in partnership with Singleton.
