Roast and Rhyme returned for yet another memorable edition dubbed Thanksgiving on Sunday.

The organisers say the event, which was held at Jahazi Pier in Munyonyo and sponsored by Bell Lager, was aimed at appreciating the loyal attendees who have never missed an event since its inception in 2016.

In the same spirit, Roger Mugisha, the MC of the evening issued a special call to October babies and those whose birthday it was so they could receive gifts from the organisers.

On the entertainment part, the show got off to a great start as singer, songwriter and guitarist The Body of Brian performed some of his new and unreleased songs. Afterwards, Isaac Rucci held the stage with many of Limit X’s greatest hits like Clap Your Hands, Miracle, J.E.S.U.S and Malibongwe (Come to Me).

In the heat of the moment, Patrick Salvador Idringi, Weasel and Jose Chameleone all took the stage and performed unrehearsed as they were not part of the event’s line-up, a feat which sent the crowd into a dancing frenzy.

The show’s headline act was Winnie Nwagi, who narrated the story of how her love for music began. She spoke of miming songs while in high school, then went ahead to perform Ne-Yo’s So Sick and Etana’s My Man, before being joined on stage to perform her Amaaso hit with Swangz Avenue label-mate Vinka.

All the performers were backed by the amazing Myk Ouma and his talented live band, after which DJ Crim took the crowd through the afterparty.

This was the last Roast and Rhyme Edition to be held this year, with the next one expected in February 2020.

“Inabana”, a Harmonize song which featured Eddy Kenzo brought a lot of confusion in East Africa, as Jose Chameleone also released his own version without Kenzo, right after the official one was let out by Harmonize. The three all played the blame-game, with everyone claiming innocence, and in the end, no one was bold enough to apologize for the ruckus.

With Chameleone claiming he was disrespected as Harmonize kept sending him to his manager instead of finishing up plans directly with him, and Eddy Kenzo saying he received the song from Harmonize and wasn’t told that Chameleone was once on it, the burden was now on Konde Boy to clear the air on what really happened.

At the release party of his new song “Uno” at Club Guvnor, Harmonize performed their version with Kenzo, together on stage, and surprisingly, hours later he posted a video of Chameleone arriving in his hotel room, with Kenzo recording vocals, and Daddy Andre seated gracefully on a laptop – probably handling the production. Harmonize kept singing Chameleone’s praises with flatteries like,
“Legend! The best musician in East Africa” and Jose smiled on.

This is clear that they are now good with each other, and since Harmonize just paid off Wasafi 500 Million Tanzania shillings to terminate his contract with them and start his own Label: Konde Music Worldwide, we are positive there won’t be any more management bureaucracy; and we can’t wait for a collabo between these three talents to drop.
