2010 would prove to be Kenzo’s break-out year with his song “STAMINA (Kabuna mawanga)” on the talk. Stamina drew major attention from music fans over his distinct voice, singing style, dances and penchant for great songwriting which even attracted President of Uganda (Yoweri Museveni) to use it as his theme song during his presidential campaigns of 2011.
