He also perfomed songs like “Ekigo” a collaboration with Maureen, “Olugendo” done with Irene Namubiru, “Nkakwanye ntya” an inspiration from a high school crash that he had and last but not least “Oliwa”, all off his Ugandan album.
“This album is a very special one to me in many ways than one; it helped me open myself to fresh ways of creating music hence tapping into a new audience base that I didn’t know I had. Thank you all for the support. I am more than grateful,” said Mugabi.
Mugabi also performed songs like “Naki” and “Nkwegomba”, a fan’s favourite that had show-goers humming along to ever word. The event that was sponsored by Johnnie Walker Highball was nothing short of fun as the cocktails kept coming throughout the night.
