South African DJ Musa Keys entertains attendees of the 5th annviersary of Thrones in Kampala on August 9, 2024.
Bar business is one of the most profitable businesses there is but usually, most bars don’t live to see their third anniversary. That is why it calls for big celebrations when a bar consistently survives its fourth anniversary and surviving those years in a busy environment is Thrones Lounge which celebrated its Fifth anniversary last Friday with a special artiste performance from South Africa’s Musa Key’s.
It was the third time Musa Keys was coming to Uganda. He had performed in Uganda twice in 2022. First in Mbarara and later at Blankets and Wine so last Friday’s event was like coming to a place he is well conversant with.
When it comes to throwing a lit party, Thrones Lounge has an undoubted reputation. And last night, Friday August 9, the Bugolobi-based hangout simply outdid themselves.
With Johnnie Walker as the partner of choice, Thrones went all out to sit high and mighty on its throne, as they delivered one of the hangout’s most epic nights ever.
The entrance to Thrones Lounge was shifted to the parking lot, and the usual entrance space, pimped up and transformed into a lively lounge, where guests took turns to snap on the beautifully set backdrops.
The lights cast a golden glow, illuminating the iconic Striding Man for all to see, while the air was rich with luxury and exclusivity.
It was clear that this was not just another night out, but one of memories worth keeping.
Amapiano and Afrobeats was the order of the night, and it was pure bliss for those who knew how to match the beats and the crazy ‘legwork’. It was all an energetic and infectious affair.
Kenya’s Kavisa was a joy to watch as she took to the stage alongside DJ Kamali, and their chemistry was undeniably amazing, as they quickly became the crowd’s favorite.
As the night progressed, Sir Aludah took over, switching up the tempo with a mix of Ugandan Kidandali, reggae, hip-hop, and 90s R&B. The crowd was in high spirits, eagerly awaiting the main act.
South African singer Musa Keys, was joined by Uganda’s own Lil Stunner- Sheila Gashumba, and it was very clear that they meant business.
Along the way, Musa Keys grabbed the microphone and addressed revelers; “I appreciate you all for being here tonight. Kampala is always a turn-up! Thanks for the love!”
The crowd roared with wild cheers in response, and from that moment on, the party didn’t stop till the wee hours of Saturday morning.
He first took to the deejays booth to exhibit his deejaying skills before switching to singing which was refreshing for the audience.
They sung along to most of his songs including Selema, Vula Mlomo and Kancane but the songs most were waiting for was Unavilable, his collaboration with Nigeria’s Davido. The moment he performed it was the highlight of the night.
Since opening its doors in 2019, Thrones quickly rose to become one of Kampala’s most sought-after-party spots.
