Agip Motel was Mbarara’s ultimate party place on Saturday night as the Walker’s Tour made a pitstop in the land of milk and honey. Draped in yellow and gold, the motel was host to the first up-country edition of the tour.
Kicking off the night with a showcase of some of Mbarara’s finest talents who included Mat Henry, Vamous 256 and Truth 256 performing their new releases with MC Kacheche and media personality Deedan as his co-host working the crowd and warming it up for what was next.
Among the Mbarara stars, it was the son of the land Ray G who was welcomed with a roar of applause that took the roof off Agip Motel. He began by performing a crowd favourite, ‘Iteeka’ and you could clearly tell that he was truly part of the town and the people. The highlight of his performance though was “Omushehe”, the smash hit he did with Spice Diana.
As the night progressed, DJ Slick Stuart stepped on stage and onto the discs. The celebrated DJ left no genre untouched playing RnB, Reggae, Amapiano, not to mention Congolese beats that got waists in motion.
However, it was not only Slick Stuart that got revellers on their feet. The National Walker, Navio, held his own performing Ngalo, Nawulira and crowd favourite Njogereza that got the Mbarara crowd going wild.
The night ended with a riveting performance by Karole Kasita as she took partygoers on an epic dancehall journey performing some of her biggest hits like Balance and Binyuma.
The tour heads to Gulu next.
