What the report says

Sqoop Uganda reports that Ugandan DJ Last Gal is preparing for her first solo showcase, scheduled for October 2 at Guvnor Street in Kampala. The event is being presented as an important milestone in her deejaying career and will place her at the center of a night focused on music and DJ culture.

According to the article, the lineup will include several DJs, MCs and entertainers, among them Selector Jay, Sir Aludah, Saint Trevor, DJ Roja, DJ Jose 256, DJ Lito, DJ Mercy Pro, Slick Stuart, Fem DJ, Morgan MC, Hanz MC, Topboy MC and HypeMan Izzy Da Business. The music program is set to cover a wide mix of styles, including Old Skool, R&B, Dancehall, Amapiano, 3Step and Afrobeats.

The publisher says Last Gal, whose real name is Rachel Heyzo Kanyunyuzi, views the showcase as a reflection of her growth and her path as a female DJ in a field long dominated by men. Sqoop notes that she started training in 2022 at Gong Academy under DJ Derrick Files, and that her stage name comes from being the last-born in her family.

More broadly, the article places the event in the context of the growing visibility of women DJs in Uganda’s entertainment scene. The showcase is presented as both a personal career step for Last Gal and part of that wider shift.
