KENNY G, WORLD-RENOWNED SAXOPHONE ICON, TO PERFORM ONE NIGHT ONLY IN KAMPALA
Malembe Lifestyle, East Africa’s premier curator of world-class experiences, proudly announces an exclusive, one-night-only performance by the legendary saxophonist Kenny G at The Mestil Hotel on Sunday, 28th September 2025.
This landmark event marks the first time the Grammy Award-winning artist will perform in Uganda, promising an unforgettable night for jazz enthusiasts and music lovers across the region with Fenon events handling the production of the show.
Kenny G, the world’s best-selling instrumentalist in history with over 75 million records sold worldwide, has defined smooth jazz for decades.
Known for iconic compositions such as “Songbird,” “Forever in Love,” and “Sentimental,” his soulful melodies have touched millions globally. This concert is more than a performance—it is a celebration of a musical legacy, offering audiences in Kampala a rare opportunity to experience his signature sound live and intimate.
A milestone in Uganda’s cultural calendar
Afsa Umutesi, Events Director at Malembe Lifestyle, said:”Bringing Kenny G to Kampala is a historic achievement and a testament to Uganda’s growing stature on the international entertainment map. This event reflects our ongoing commitment to elevating East Africa’s cultural landscape through sophisticated and world-class musical experiences. We are creating more than a concert; we are crafting an immersive and luxurious experience for our discerning audience.”
An exclusive experience not to be missed
The one-night concert promises a refined atmosphere at The Mestil Hotel, combining elegant ambience with Kenny G’s masterful artistry. Attendees will be transported on a soothing musical journey, paying homage to the timeless classics that have made Kenny G an enduring icon of jazz.
The exclusive once in lifetime performance is sponsored by MTN Uganda, which last year sponsored local and international performances including the sold-out Boyz 2 Men concert in Kampala. “MTN is proud to partner with Malembe in bringing this renowned act to Uganda. It’s through initiatives like this one that we recognize the passions, and together with our partners, deliver memorable experiences for our customers”, Sylvia El Sheikh, Chief Marketing Officer, MTN Uganda.
