On March 2, at Kololo Independence grounds, English reggae star Ali Campbell will return to Uganda in a concert, with his current band.
Initially scheduled for December 21, 2023, Campbell returns to Uganda at a time when reggae music in Uganda is having a cocktail of events. From the Bob Marley and Dennis Brown tribute concerts, early this month, Ali Campbell Featuring UB40, to Jinjera, on March 9, reggae is, indeed, kicking off Uganda’s social calendar with the lion’s share.
Returning from their sold-out show in Mumbai, India, Campbell and his band will be in Uganda, quite interesting is the local line-up of artists set to share stage with the veteran band.
Today, February 26, the organisers of the concert – Talent Africa, announced that songstress Rema Namakula will join Campbell and his band.
Coming out of her successful Melodies of Love concert, on February 23, at Sheraton Gardens, Rema now has a chance to prove herself on such a stage with remarkably big international stars.
Over the years in her career, Rema has morphed her artistry into a distinct blend of Afrobeat, and Rhythm & Blues. Her versatility and ability to connect with audiences through her music have earned her a seat at the table with the most celebrated Ugandan artists.
Rema joins a lineup of other local artists like Bebe Cool, Vinka, Navio, Elijah Kitaka, Weasel, Vampino, Party Pipo and Abeeka Band. And to spice up the reggae do, renowned reggae DJ, Naselow The Don, is lined up.
