Ugandan music legend Joseph Mayanja aka Jose Chameleone, is set to celebrate 25 years in music with a concert dubbed ‘Legend in Gold,’ slated for this Saturday, August 31, at the Kampala Serena Hotel.
The ‘Legend In Gold’ concert tickets had been originally set at $100 (about Shs 370k) for a bronze ticket, but the concert organizer- comedian Hannington Bugingo said they brought the price down to Shs 200k, after discussions with I&M Bank and other partners.
An eight-seater table is going for Shs 5m.
The ‘Legend in Gold’ concert comes a year and six months after Chameleone’s Gwanga Mujje show that rocked Kampala.
Chameleone has described this weekend’s show as more than just a concert. “Last year was a concert, but this year is a celebration of my legacy,” the Leone Island boss stated, promising revelers an unforgettable experience.
To mark 25 years in the industry, Chameleone will perform his biggest hits from all the years, offering a cocktail of nostalgic favorites and exciting new tunes.
Old favorites like “Bageya,” “Jamila,” “Mama Rhoda,” “Kipepewo,” “Basiima Ogenze,” “Befula,” “Nekolela Mali,” “Mambo Bado,” “Samwa Samwa,” “Shida za Dunia,” “Bayuda,” and “Wale Wale,” alongside still-popular hits like “Kigwa Lero,” “Champion,” “Mateeka,” “Baliwa,” “Bolingo Ya Nzambe,” and “Forever,” will all be part of the electrifying set for the night.
