With a guitar slung over his shoulders, sitting on a high stool, as he carried himself with an attitude of a legend, Maurice Kirya got fans dance vigorously to his tunes at the World Music Day concert. The event, which was held at Alliance Française on Saturday drew as many fans as the artistes themselves.

The concert also brought with it humour, I bet fans wherever they are, up to now have not forgotten Principle T an upcoming artiste who had us choke with laughter as he confidently spoke broken English.

Whether you loved Hip-hop or not, Arise Hip Hop Uganda have mastered their skill, that whereas most of these guys are too young they rapped like they have been around for so long. Do the Break Dance project kids move with first aid kits? One of these days they might injure themselves.

Maurice strums his guitar. Below is Tshilla.

There were quite a couple of bands that performed, but the Blood Brothers played with the most vigour, although they had an element of monotony. And what happened to Jekaki band? Well these guys are good instrumentalists but they lacked vocalists.

When the Percussion Discussion got on stage they got many fans run to the front to dance to their afro rhythms, though it was their dancers that caused murmurs in the crowd. The three girls danced away like they had no bones in their bodies.

The technical crew largely messed up the concert. First, they tampered with Navio's performance by switching off the stage lights, and even blew one of the lights. Somebody also had better teach Stormy the backup singer in Klear Kut, to learn how to use a microphone; he made noise throughout the performance which wasn't good for our ears.

Susan Kerunen performed at a time when the crowd was tired, but the right selection of her instrumentalists won her several hearts even though many did not understand what she was singing about. Some of the other artistes that performed include Tshila, Sarah Ndagire, Joel Ssebunjo and others.
