Nigerian Afro-beats singer, Dr. Tiwa Savage is in Uganda for a performance slated for this Friday the 29th of July at the Lugogo Cricket Oval alongside an all-female line-up of acts.
The Queen of Afrobeats is in Uganda for the second time, following her 2015 Women’s Day concert at the Kati-Kati grounds in Lugogo.
While addressing the media at a press conference on Thursday at the Sheraton Kampala Hotel, the Eminado singer – who was recently awarded an Honorary Degree by the University of Kent – said, “I’m very excited to be back in Uganda. My last trip here was filled with so much love and positive energy and I just had to do this beautiful nation justice once again. It’s also another opportunity to follow up on some personal charity projects that are very close to my heart.”
Tiwa is passionate about the plight of underprivileged women and is involved in various projects that provide support to teenage mothers in Uganda.
Organised by Jos Global and Talent Africa, and sponsored by Tusker Cider, the Tiwa Live in Kampala concert will be held under the theme, “Who Run The World?”, and will feature performances from Winnie Nwagi, Cindy Sanyu, Vinka, Karole Kasita, Sandra Nansambu, Lamu, Laika, Jowi Landa, Sandra Suubi, and DJs Zato and Alisha.
Speaking at the press conference, Aly Alibhai, CEO of Talent Africa, noted that, “TIWA SAVAGE LIVE IN KAMPALA was specifically organized to celebrate women in the entertainment industry.”
