Nigerian singer Burna Boy has a huge fan base in Uganda and it showed on Friday evening. This after thousands flocked the Kampala Sheraton hotel for his much anticipated concert dubbed “Burna Boy Experience”.
By 7pm, the hotel was already teeming with activity as the singer’s fans made their way to the Sheraton gardens where the concert was set. By 10 pm the gardens were fully packed from the ordinary to the VVIP section. However, getting in was not an all-smooth experience as revelers had to push and shove their way to the venue.
Their struggle was in the end all worth it. Burna Boy gave revelers a show to remember in an electrifying performance that lasted for a close to an hour.
Stepping on stage at around 11.40pm, he was received with loud cheers and ululations as the eagerly waiting crowd went into a frenzy. Revelers drew closer to the stage. Hoisting phones in the air, they were ready to capture the memory and have it etched on the interwebs forever. The moment everyone had been waiting had finally arrived.
Burna who was backed by his band kicked off his performance with his hit song, “All Eyes On Me”, an apt choice as now all the attention was fixated on him. He went to perform his several other hit songs including Gbona, On the Low, and Yawadey among others that had the crowd dancing and singing along with him.
The show which went on until 12.30am, also featured performances from Ugandan singers including Sheebah, Irene Ntale, Fik Fameica and John Blaq among others.
