Jamaican musician Sean Kingston yesterday held a concert at Lugogo Cricket Oval that attracted thousands of fun. Gates opened as early as 5pm and the show which had been postponed once, was packed to capacity. Security was tight with over 700 police officer deployed to man the Cricket grounds.
Kingston performed all his favorite tracks. From songs like Face drop to Dutty love. This had the crowd screaming wildly. Nigerian artiste, Mr Flavor, had the crowd on their feet when he performed his hit Ashawo. He removed his shirt and threw it into the crowd later telling the screaming crowd, “I love Uganda and you have beautiful women.” Other curtain raisers were P-Unit, a Kenyan group, Klear Kut, Bigtrill, Mun G, Lillian.
Earlier talks that the Jamaican musician would not appear for the show did not dampen the mood of the crowd who were kept entertained by scores of local musicians.
“We had of those rumours but we were constantly in touch with the artiste and we were confident that the show was to talk place,” said Ali Alibai one of the organisers of the concert.
The rumours came up when by concert day, Friday, no one had spotted the artiste.
“Normally an international artiste holds a press conference before his concert and gives both radio and TV clips, but for Kingston that wasn’t the case. Because of lack of that, we thought his show was a kiwani” said student, Ruth Tagwana.
The parked show which kicked off at 9pm went on till midnight.
