Ray G brings western Uganda’s sound to Kololo in a historic show of regional might

What the report says

Sqoop Uganda reported that Ugandan musician Ray G staged his latest major concert, Ray G Live in Concert, at the Kololo Ceremonial Grounds in Kampala, drawing a large crowd and turning the capital venue into a showcase for Western Uganda’s sound. The show came after days of buildup that included fans traveling from Western Uganda by bus and Ray G promoting the event in downtown Kampala.

The article said the concert was organized by veteran promoter Abtex and marked Ray G’s fourth major solo show, described as his most ambitious Kampala performance so far. It followed earlier success in Mbarara, including a sold-out concert at Kakyeka Stadium. On stage, Ray G leaned on songs that have defined his rise, including “Omusheshe,” “Eizooba,” and “Yoya,” while drawing strong support from his Runyankore-speaking fan base.

Sqoop Uganda also noted that the lineup featured both regional and national performers, among them Truth 256, Omega 256, Levixone, Spice Diana, Winnie Wa Mummy, Mudra, T Paul, and Feffe Bussi. Production was handled by Fenon Events, which provided lighting, sound and staging for the Kololo venue.

Beyond the concert itself, the report framed the event as evidence that artists from outside Kampala can attract major audiences in the capital and command wider commercial attention, reflecting the growing influence of regional music in Uganda’s entertainment scene.
