December’s Afro-mix grand finale night with Qwela on Friday night was one show that did not disappoint live music lovers as the band staged a fiery entertaining performance all evening at the Bight of Benin Restaurant in Nakasero.
The evening was masked in 100% rhythms and sweet melodies right from the beginning as Qwela kicked off with a delicate story-telling session through song. This seemed to steal the attention of the audience with many drawn to the tales being sang in rhythmic melody.
Masha David, the lead vocalist later wowed the crowd with a passionate solo performance blended with flavors of Ugandan folk sound reminding the crowd of the timeless songs they have always listened to.
The highlight of the night came in from guest artist, Rachael Magoola, one of Uganda’s most prolific afro-folk entertainers who put up a great show leaving the crowd in a cheery mood and wishing the night wasn’t coming to a close.
“Tonight, we invited Rachael Magoola for an epic end of year music special. It has been an amazing experience playing by her side and bringing joy to our guests,” said Masha David after the show closed off.
