Juliana Wins Hearts At Kibaluma Concert
Local diva Juliana Kanyomozi left a lasting impression at her ‘Kibaluma Unleashed’ concert at Kati Kati Restaurant on Friday night. When she finally appeared at about 11p.m, it was worth the wait. She sang her heart out to fans who couldn’t stop screaming out her name.
The sound was good, the skies were clear and emcee J. Kazoora was the right guy to work the crowd as he introduced star after another, interjecting the performances with his usual jokes.
Wearing black, in sharp contrast with red boots, Juliana was given a grand welcome onto stage amid beautiful light effects and palpitating instrumentations. Visibly overwhelmed by the large turn-up, Juliana Kanyomozi went down on her knees to show her appreciation before she set the crowd off on a musical trip with some of her hits from Nkulinze, Taata W’abana Yani - her collaboration with Bobi to songs from her latest Kibaluma album like Nkyanonya, Tombowa Mukwano, Mundeke and Kanyimbe during which she broke down into tears.
She dedicated the song to her fallen manager and brother Prince Roger Mugenyi who she said was a big inspiration in her career.
“I want to specially dedicate this song to my brother. It was the last song he told me to sing for him,” the emotive diva said amidst tears as Club beer’s Shem Ssemambo reached out to comfort her.
When she finally did Kibaluma, it felt like she had breathed life into the crowd once more as fans all got their groove on and sang along. This was after a line-up of great performances by Bobi Wine and Nubian Lee, Jose Chameleone and the Leone Island and the Obsessions.
Chameleone who wore a black pin striped suit tickled fans when he said he was one of Juliana’s biggest fans. He was at it again and sent the crowd roaring as he went on his twos to ‘publicly’ apologise to Bobi Wine for all the rat and cat games that saw them fall apart.
“Guys this isn’t a kiwani. I am for real,” he convinced as the crowd cheered on. Juliana changed her attire thrice and also did the Kibaluma song thrice as she begged fans to leave the venue saying that he show was over yet they still wanted more of the singer who had given her all.
