You don't only dance for fun but also to praise the
creator since the music is meant to praise Him. You go to have “clean” fun and
are not worried about someone getting a bottle to your head faster than
lightening because he or she is drunk and has lost it. Here are some of the
concerts I have attended and still look out for;
The Reggae Worship Concerts by Levixone in the years 2013
and 2014. Well, the one of 2013 was at Sheraton hotel Kampala (lions bar to be
specific but I think the “Bar” word isn’t convenient for a Christian event) and
the one of 2014 at Kati Kati Hall. We might not enjoy one this year so we should
probably wait till next year
I have also gone for Phatfest that is annually organized
by Power 104.1 FM and staged in Kyadondo in December. It is one to look out
for.
And then Power FM Presents Robinsan, Coopy Bly, Mac Elvis
(RIP) and Jackie Ssenyonjo
There was also Hawa Musa Live followed by Patricia Mujungu's
love unlimited concert both staged at Silver Springs Hotel in Bugolobi
separated by a year in between and most recently Robinson's Forward album
launch, Ruyonga’s GloryFire and FireArmy Concert then finally Holy Keane's Jah
Jehovah album Launch to mention but a few.
What I love about these concerts is the fact that I get the opportunity to see how these artists can be more flexible on stage especially when it comes to doing live music because its different from when the producer says cut! Sing this way or that way. I got to feel the real passion and vulnerability of the voices in regard to the songs being sung and also watch how the artists take the opportunity to interact with the crowd because this is not obvious to everyone and some don't even take it seriously
What does it take to organize a concert?
First and foremost is God Himself; you have to be in sync
with Him.
Secondly, you need the right people who know what they
are doing or have the much needed experience.
Also you need to understand your crowd. Ask yourself the
following question; Do they love cooperate concerts or not? Are they able to
come to the venue you have chosen? What is your target age group? Then, u will
also need event promoters and not forgetting the funds.
