As Uganda prepares for its biggest end-of-year entertainment season, Kampala Afro-Luo artist Son Of A Boda is bringing a fresh soundtrack to the city’s outside culture with his latest single, ‘Sober’
Kampala: Where are we going? Who’s outside? Send the location!
As Uganda approaches the festive season, those familiar questions are becoming part of everyday conversation. From spontaneous link-ups and nightlife adventures to concerts, outdoor festivals and end-of-year celebrations, the country’s entertainment scene is gearing up for another busy December.
And Son Of A Boda wants to be part of its soundtrack.
The Kampala-based Afro-fusion artist is releasing his new single, ‘Sober’, on November 13, a record that arrives with an infectious hook built around one of the most recognisable experiences of Uganda’s social culture: finding out where everyone is going and making your way there.
With the hook asking, “Where we at outside? If you send me the location,” Son Of Aboda captures the spontaneity of a night out, the excitement of meeting friends and the energy of being part of something happening.
The release comes as Kampala’s entertainment calendar begins filling up with major experiences, including the return of Blankets & Wine on December 13, alongside the many parties, concerts and festive gatherings expected throughout the season.
Rather than being confined to the emotional interpretation suggested by its title, ‘Sober’ carries an interesting contrast. Its name suggests introspection, while its hook invites listeners into a more energetic, social atmosphere.
That duality makes the record particularly interesting for the season.
For Son Of Aboda, whose sound blends lyrical rap, soulful melodies and Afrobeats influences, the single is another opportunity to connect with listeners through relatable experiences while continuing to shape his Afro-fusion identity.
As Uganda enters its much-anticipated ‘Tuliwa’ season, ‘Sober’ could find its place among the records accompanying the country’s December experiences.
Whether it’s the pre-party playlist, the drive to the venue or the moment everyone is asking for the next location, Son Of Aboda is putting forward a simple question of his own:
Where we at outside?
‘Sober’ by Son Of Aboda is out November 13, 2026, on all major streaming platforms.
