The old hits returned, but so did a different Grace…

What the report says

Sqoop Uganda reports that Grace Nakimera made a notable return to the stage on Friday night at Kampala Serena Hotel’s Victoria Hall with her “Power of Grace” concert. The show opened at about 9:20pm with “Kiva Kuki,” recalling the hit songs that made her one of Uganda’s most recognizable female performers in the late 2000s. The article says the concert drew fans eager to see how the singer would present herself after more than a decade away from secular music and her last major concert in 2011.

According to the report, the performance highlighted a more restrained and mature Nakimera, shaped by her Christian faith and motherhood, while still showing strong vocal control. Her set blended older secular songs such as “Anfukula,” “Sukuma,” “Bumper ku Bumper,” “Kawonawo” and “Sexy” with gospel material including “Yansasira,” giving the audience a mix of nostalgia and her current musical direction. The concert also featured guest appearances from David Lutalo, Aziz Azion, Pastor Wilson Bugembe, and a brief performance by Hajjat Hadijjah Sharifah Namyalo.

The piece says the event was not just a nostalgia act but a presentation of both the artist’s past and present. It also notes some interruptions from repeated advertisements and pauses on the main stage, though the final segment restored momentum. Overall, Sqoop Uganda frames the concert as a successful comeback that showed Nakimera could still command a crowd while offering a different version of herself.
