The Tusker Malt Music Lounge series have returned yet again and this time round, they are camping at Jazzville Restaurant and Bar, Bugolobi where the unique sounds of afro-soul will sound through the venue’s walls monthly after the Qwela music group launched their live band series last night.
Fans of Afrocentric live band music were in musical heaven as the night’s performing acts, Qwela and Tempra Omona wowed the crowds at the first of many Afromix band nights to come.
The charismatic and vibrant artist from Northern Uganda had many of the revelers up on their feet and singing along excitedly with lots of soul as a couple of fans joined him on stage for an easy fun-dance episode with Qwela taking the lead on the instrumentals.
“Qwela” which means ‘pure’ in Rukiga truly lived up to its name as they presented their guests with the best of pure music against a blend of many different cultural backgrounds.
The additional bonus was the forever celebrated classics that stole the crowd’s attention as they sang to their hearts’ content and later washed down it down with the cold Tusker Malt beers being served all night.
“Tusker Malt Lager is at the heart of giving our fans a 100% real and authentic music experience. Tonight’s Afromix show has been nothing short of amazing and fresh music coming from the incredibly talented band who will be sharing more of these musical nights with us,” said Cathy Twesigye, Tusker Malt Lager Brand Manager, UBL.
The Afromix show closed the day at the stroke of midnight leaving revelers wanting more of the fun and exciting music experience. Fans will be glad to know that it is a recurring monthly series with only the best of the Qwela band fused with many flavours of jazz, reggae, blues and a dash of rock music. Live band fans should not fail to miss out on this one!
