Attendees relished the opportunity to shed their adult responsibilities for a few hours and dive headfirst into a world of playful competition. The games were not only fun but served as a platform for rekindling friendships, building new ones, and fostering a sense of community among participants.
However, the night truly came alive when the King herself, Cindy Sanyu, and her band hit the stage. Known for her commanding presence and electrifying performances, Cindy didn’t disappoint. She belted out a string of her biggest hits, sending waves of excitement through the crowd. Her charisma and energy were infectious, as attendees danced and sang along to every note, making it one of the most memorable performances of the evening. Cindy’s set was a celebration of Ugandan music, and her fans were left in awe of her talent and stagecraft.
Not to be outdone, the Almost Famous DJs provided the perfect soundtrack for the day’s festivities. Their seamless transitions between classic hits and modern jams kept the energy levels high throughout the event. Whether participants were taking a break between games or gearing up for Cindy’s performance, the DJs ensured that there was never a dull moment. Their expert mix of genres catered to all tastes, ensuring that everyone—no matter their age or musical preference—was entertained to the fullest.
Qweshunga has once again proven why it’s a must-attend event on the social calendar.
