Desire Tusiimire’s performance was so powerful that it pushed Coach Awilo Longomba to push the button in her favor.
Desire Tusiimire, the first of seven Ugandan contestants to audition at The Voice Africa impressed the coaches with her vocal prowess during her debut performance of Jireh by Maverick City during the Airtel Africa-sponsored competition.
Her performance was so powerful that it pushed Coach Awilo Longomba to push the button in her favor.
Unlike other musical contests, The Voice Africa involves blind auditions in which coaches hear the talent perform and if they are impressed, they push a button to select the talent for their team.
If more than one coach pushes the button, the talent will then have to choose which coach they want to work with. If no coach pushes the button, the talent will be eliminated from the competition so Awilo pushing the button means Tusiime is onto the next round.

The talents will be coached and supported by renowned African artistes Nigeria’s Yemi Alade, Charles Arthur Locko Samba popularly known as Locko from Cameroon, Lady Jaydee from Tanzania, and Awilo Longomba from Congo.
The weekly episodes will be hosted by Uganda’s Gaetano Kaggwa alongside Nigerian actress Dakore Igbuson.
Each of the 14 counties has 7 representatives who are taking part in the competition and the winner will be determined by viewers who will be voting via different channels. The episodes will be broadcasted on cable TV, Free-To-Air, YouTube, and Airtel TV across the continent from March to September 2023 when the winner to walk away with the $100,000 grand prize will be announced.
