The Bell Fiesta on Saturday, September 7th did not only thrill Mbale residents with Balls, Beats and Beers, but also with spectacular performances. Cindy nailed the show with an exhilarating performance firmly reminding everyone why she was triumphant at Coca-Cola pops stars back in 2004.
“Thatch Gardens” was transformed into a beautiful spectacle of music and soccer as the “Human Table Foosball” left the crowds that had stormed the venue asking for more with such unforgettable experience. The wet ground from the previous day’s showers did not stop the revellers from engaging in the Bell Fiesta activities. The Inflatable Goal Penalty Shootouts became an instant hit with fans excited on the prospects of winning Bell Lager goodies by scoring.
Foosball was also a joy for many and when the team formations were announced, all action moved to the Human Table Foosball with the eight teams, XFC, SS Boys, Thachi, Tigers, Flying Birds, Gala Tickles, Pro City and Namakwere Boys as they battled out for the grand prize of UGX 400,000.
The crowd was entertained and fired up by MC Dave Dash and MC Ken and every time they mentioned Cindy, the crowd would give a rousing applause showing their love and anticipation for the “Ayokya yokya” hit singer’s performance.
The gruelling final in the Human Table Foosball pitted Tigers FC and XFC lasting 10 minutes which finally saw Tigers FC clinch the prize money with a 1-0 win.
Finally, when Cindy jumped onto the stage, revellers could not stop chanting and singing along her tunes, a demonstration of how much support she has from the Eastern town of Mbale. She did not disappoint her fans as she belted out sweet tunes of her greatest hits like Total Satisfaction, Mungu Bwasalawo, Selecta and Nkoye Amateeka.
Coupled with her sensual dance moves and two dancers by her side, Cindy gave an unforgettable performance wrapping up the Bell Fiesta in style. The crowd was also entertained by the Bell Magic dancers and Mbale’s own local talent Kenny Yo and the pool side assassins who curtain raised for the main act, Cindy.
