Mics of Kla: Kayihura’s Electrifying Performance Sets New Standard for Live Music

The first edition of the highly anticipated Mics of Kla event, held on Friday, May 25, at Club Guvnor, set an impressive benchmark for live music performances in Kampala.

Sponsored by Don Julio Tequila and headlined by the talented Mike Kayihura, the night undoubtedly lived up to its billing.

The event is dedicated to celebrating artists with extraordinary abilities to captivate audiences through their vocal prowess.

Kayihura’s performance was a masterclass in live singing, delivering some of his most-loved songs, including “Elevated” (a collaboration with Ugandan star Azawi), “Jaribu,” “My Only Baby,” “Kante,” “Tuza,” and “Anytime.” His connection with the crowd was undeniable. From the moment he stepped onto the stage at 1 am, Kayihura had the audience spellbound.

As he concluded his set, the lanky Rwandese star couldn’t hide his gratitude to his Ugandan fans.

“Thank you all for coming out tonight. I have mad love for Uganda and hope you enjoyed the show.”he said

His seamless interaction with the crowd and his ability to evoke strong emotions through his music made it clear why Nduguz Culture chose him to headline this special event.

“We traveled all the way to Rwanda to pick this gem because he is an amazing performer. We are here to celebrate culture, fashion, and people who appreciate the same kind of music,”Sammy Wetala, Director at Nduguz Culture.

He added :  “There is no better place to do it than at East Africa’s number one night spot, with the newest don in town, Don Julio.”

Its partnership with the Mics of Kla event not only highlighted the brand’s commitment to celebrating music and culture but also reinforced its status as a premium choice for those seeking the signature Don Julio experience.
