Urban Boys, Judith Heard promise top notch Rwanda/Burundi Night
The second edition of Rwanda/Burundi Night is slated for Saturday 29th April at Cayenne Lounge and Restaurant. Singers Sheebah Karungi, Urban Boys from Rwanda, Bruce Melody, Kebby Bob from Burundi and DJs Africano and Franco are set to provide entertainment to the revellers.
Urban Boys performing in Uganda in a concert for the first time have promised top class act on stage.
The 9-year old group comprises of Safi Madiba, Humble Jizzo and Nizzo Kaboss. On the night, the group will also premiere their latest collabo with Ykee Benda titled ‘Nipe’. “On 29th, Rwanda, Burundi and Ugandan partiers will be the first to hear this song,” Safi said in an interview with Showbiz Uganda.
“We have many surprises to our fans on Saturday. They will be the first people to listen to our new song with Ykee Benda titled ‘Nipe’. We are premiering it and we will also perform it on the night. Its video is premiering next week,” he added.
“On the night we shall have many people who speak Kinyarwanda and it’s a great opportunity for us to perform as well as sell our name to a bigger audience”.
On the Ugandan music industry, Safi said the industry is bigger than Rwanda’s. “We are just building from genocide mess and we appreciate what Ugandans do. Most Ugandans are professional and we hope to emulate them in the near future”.
