The Beats and Bliss carnival held at Fort Portal’s Buhinga Stadium was a night to remember for music lovers last weekend featuring electrifying performances from some of Uganda’s top artistes headlined by Bebe Cool.
The stage was opened with hype commanded by MC Wzzy and DJ Hash, who ignited the mood as revellers got closer to the stage.
At exactly 08:30pm, Eddie Kiwanuka, aka Big Flexi, took the stage by storm, captivating the audience with his energetic dance moves as he spoiled revellers with amazing giveaways courtesy of FlexiPay. Local talents such as Atwooki Rickie, Ayesiga Muzamir and Iryn Hindah pulled off charming performances that transitioned into Bebe Cool’s performance.
