Christopher Martin
Christopher Martin has a very bad memory of Uganda. This is so because the show he was supposed to perform at was a total flop. That however doesn’t change the fact that he’s one of the best Jamaican artistes vocally. The 34 year old has put the past behind and will be jamming with Ugandans alongside D-Major at the Bell All Star concert slated for 23rd August at Lugogo Cricket Oval.
The reveal was made during the Pulse Jam Fest featuring Chronixx at the Sheraton Gardens on Saturday. Right before Chronixx’ performance, the lights went dark and the giant screen lit up with a video message from Christopher Martin and D-Major announcing their upcoming performances in Uganda.
