Kampala, Uganda – Malembe Lifestyle, East Africa’s premier curator of world-class experiences, proudly announces an exclusive, one-night-only performance by legendary saxophonist Kenny G at The Mestil Hotel on Sunday, 28th September 2025.
This landmark event marks the first time the Grammy Award-winning artist will perform in Uganda, promising an unforgettable night for jazz enthusiasts and music lovers across the region.
Kenny G, the world’s best-selling instrumentalist with over 75 million records sold, has defined smooth jazz for decades. Known for timeless classics such as Songbird, Forever in Love, and Sentimental, his soulful melodies have touched millions around the globe. A multiple Grammy Award winner, his songs have also been the soundtrack for hundreds of weddings in Uganda, making his upcoming performance deeply significant for many fans.
This concert is more than a performance—it is a celebration of a musical legacy. Audiences in Kampala will enjoy a rare opportunity to experience Kenny G’s signature sound live and intimate, with a setlist featuring his classic hits alongside special live arrangements crafted exclusively for this appearance.
A milestone in Uganda’s cultural calendar
Afsa Umutesi, Events Director at Malembe Lifestyle, said:
“Bringing Kenny G to Kampala is a historic achievement and a testament to Uganda’s growing stature on the international entertainment map. This event reflects our ongoing commitment to elevating East Africa’s cultural landscape through sophisticated and world-class musical experiences. We are creating more than a concert; we are crafting an immersive and luxurious experience for our discerning audience.”
An exclusive experience not to be missed
The one-night concert promises a refined atmosphere at The Mestil Hotel, blending elegant ambience with Kenny G’s masterful artistry. Attendees will be transported on a soothing musical journey, paying homage to the timeless classics that have made him an enduring icon of jazz. This event also marks a major milestone in expanding Uganda’s live international music scene, further cementing the country’s place on the global cultural stage.
Sponsors
The exclusive once-in-a-lifetime performance is sponsored by MTN Uganda, which last year supported both local and international concerts including the sold-out Boyz II Men show in Kampala.
“MTN is proud to partner with Malembe in bringing this renowned act to Uganda. It’s through initiatives like this one that we recognize passions, and together with our partners, deliver memorable experiences for our customers,” said Sylvia El Sheikh, Chief Marketing Officer, MTN Uganda.
