Uganda’s 2009 ends in style:
After the second Bobi Wine versus Bebe Cool encounter at One love beach and Kiwatule respectively on the 26th of December, many thought that majority of party animals would not be colored enough to celebrate end of year parties. This is so because both Kiwatule and One love shows sold out to maximum. After the Kiwatule show, Extra size Bebe Cool looked humbled because of the huge turn up while The Ghetto president was overwhelmed because of the mega turn up at Busabala based one love Beach.
Contrary to our predictions, revelers proved us wrong as they turned up in extra ordinary numbers to close 2009 and usher in 2010.Most of the two years events organized sold out to maximum. We at HIPIPO are privileged to bring to you a detailed report of all that happened on 31st December. Within Kampala, more than five concerts were held and these included The Enkuuka Yo Mwaka at Lubiiri, UG-mix dance party at Sheraton, MR.DJ concert at Hotel Africa, Bye-bye 2009 at Super Paradise, Fire in the City at Kasanga plus a very huge list of GODLY events that were held at KPC,Kololo airstrip,Nakivubo stadium and Namboole stadium.
To begin with is The Enkuka YO Mwaka of CBS and Jomayi at Lubiiri.For the past three years, Enkuka has always been the peoples’ number one event for ushering in a new year. Even though CBS stayed off air, its fans were not in any way stopped from attending this mega function. An estimated 30000 fans were there to bless the show. Among the many that witnessed the Muziira Mubaziira Enkuuka ceremony included His Majesty The Kabaka of Buganda Ronald Muwenda Mutebi and His cabinet led by Katikiiro Eng.JB Walusimbo.By 9:00a.m, people had already started booking clear view points for Enkuuka Yo Mwaka. However serious parting started in the dark as fans got high and danced their heads off. As usually most of the top names musically were there to entertain the CBS diehards. Jose Chameleone and the Leone Island crew did so while presenting songs such as Bayuda, Chami-Techenology and Basima Ogenze.However it was Bobi wine and his Uganja Republic that stole the show. Dressed in semi army attires and T-shirts, the Ghetto squad arrived in Lubiiri amidst cheers from its fans. These guys looked so high as they continuously filled the atmosphere with toxic gases from different kinds of drugs that the crew Smoked to usher in 2010.On stage Bobi Wine performed perfectly well as he sang his superb hits such as Carolina, Muras and Wesotinge which left the fans yelling for more. Well organized Fireworks were also part of the Enkuuka YO Mwaka celebrations. Party went on till 5:00am of 1st January, 2010.
At Silk Street jam it was of course the same story. By 8:00pm, the industrial area based night spot was filled to maximum. So many fans dressed in all sorts of attires attended in person. People drank till down plus dancing as if it was the end of the road. Live performances from local artists were timely as they left all party goers satisfied. The performers of the night included Bebe Cool who jumped on stage and performed without a shirt with his Gagamel crew. When it clocked 12:00a.m, fireworks were sparked off but most of the revelers at the Club Silk street jam took long to recognize the fire works because of the super art that was being exhibited on the stage by the likes of Bebe Cool,Kidfox and Cindy.
Fire in the city at Didi’s world Kasanga also sold out dearly with so many fans from within and around Ggaba.They were entertained by the likes Of Ronald Mayinja, Gerald Kiweewa and Extra size Bebe Cool. The night was characterized by Booze and massive fireworks that left many demanding for more.
Another very huge number of people ushered in 2010 from Sheraton gardens during the UG-mix dance party organized by Radio one, Radio two and Uganda Waragi.The show went for 10000 general happiness and 100000 for VIP seats. As usually, the UG-mix dance party was more of a family show that was so much attended by those who moved together with their families. True art and cool entertainment was provided by our very local artists such as GNL, Chameleone and Bobi Wine. It was at this very show that Jose Chameleone once again re-united with Bobi Wine after a misunderstanding three weeks back during the Beeniman tour. The heavyweight doctor and The Ghetto president were seen holding themselves so tight as they said bye bye to 2009 and ushering in 2010.
The Mr.DJ concert at hotel Africana was another blessing for the night. Even though Mr.DJ concert cannot be compared to the Nyambura concert, those that had their new year from Africana had a good time. Artists that blessed the night included The Goodlife crew, Swangz Avenue, GNL zamba, Navio, Sizza-man, KS Alpha and Talent 256.This event was organized by Balaam, Fenon records and sponsored by Mountain Dew.
However even though most shows registered big numbers, it were the Churches that won the race.Citing evidence from the Uganda motto “FOR GOD AND MY COUNTRY”, an estimated 0.5million people attended the different Christian events to usher in 2010.The most attended prayers were at Namboole (70000), Nakivubo (50000), Kololo (50000) and KPC (10000).All these servants of God were entertained by the likes of Exodus, Crystal Fabulous, Judith Babirye, Martin Saku and Wilson Bugembe.
