Kampala’s sun was out in full force last Saturday, but the real heat was at the Gazebo in Najjera.
The venue played host to the September edition of Vibez Nzuri, and by the time the day wound down, it had cemented itself as the city’s spot to be.
Captain Morgan showed up with its usual flair, turning the Gazebo yard into a playground for the afternoon. Signature drinks, lounge spaces for squads, and a full lineup of lawn games kept revellers busy with tug of war battles, card games, cup-guessing, ring toss, and sack toss all made the cut.
Captain Morgan Brand Manager Raymond Karama said the brand wanted to bring extra spice to the weekend, and he was pleased with how the crowd turned out to vibe, play, and enjoy the music.
Music-wise, the day belonged to the next generation. Mike Mungu, Tai Dai, and Tungi took over the Vibez Nzuri stage, each bringing their own energy and giving the crowd a preview of names likely to dominate conversation in years ahead.
Event Team Lead Brian Owomugisha said the sight of squads connecting and soaking in good music around the Gazebo yard is exactly what Vibez Nzuri is built for.
Behind the decks, DJs Ames, Damze, and Rishad kept the momentum going, each bringing a different flavour to the turntables without letting the energy dip.
By the time afternoon rolled into evening and evening into night, Vibez Nzuri had made its point, Kampala is more than ready for its new wave of urban talent and energy.
The sun called for a chill day. What showed up instead was a full-blown celebration of sound and community. Question now is whether the city waits a full year for the next one or whether Vibez Nzuri comes back sooner than that.
