East Africa’s hip-hop icon, Navio, is set to deliver a spectacular fusion of rhythm, lyricism, and orchestral opulence in his highly anticipated Orchestra Concert at Serena Kampala Hotel on October 4.
The monumental cultural celebration, entangling the sounds of Eastern, Western, and Northern Africa for the very first time on one grand stage is scheduled to have major African and global stars like Burna Boy, Keith Sweat, Wizkid, Sarkodie, Ice Prince, King Saha, Chameleone, Bobi Wine, and more in attendance or on the stage performing if all doesn’t change.
“This concert is more than music- it’s East Africa’s heartbeat meeting global rhythms in symphonic harmony. I am thrilled to share this immersive experience with my fans and celebrate the legacy we have built across the continent,” Navio said.
This unprecedented concert marks Navio’s boldest artistic venture to date- melding his powerful hip-hop legacy with sweeping orchestral arrangements.
Born Daniel Lubwama Kigozi, Navio rose to fame as a founding member of the legendary Ugandan hip-hop group Klear Kut, who pioneered the “Ugaflow” sound.
Navio was also the first Ugandan hip-hop act to be nominated for a Kora Award back in the early 20s.
His solo career bloomed with chart-toppers like “Ngalo”, “Bugumu”, “One & Only”, Burn, Njogereza, One and Only and the international hit “On and On” featuring American R&B star Keith Sweat.
Navio is the most awarded East African hip-hop artist of all time, boasting multi-winner status across Pearl of Africa Music Awards and African Entertainment Awards, with over 30 local and international nominations and victories to his name.
Tickets will go for Shs150,000, tables of Shs 3, 5 and 10m and will be available through Serena Kampala Hotel’s box office and Navio’s official channels. VIP packages include premium seating, a pre-show reception, and exclusive merchandise.
