Since the launch of the East African community (EAC), countries have tried different strides to promote unity among member nations. This has seen the launch of football competitions, trade unions and healthy entertainment collaborations.
In Kampala over ten East African theme nights are organized monthly from Kenyan, Tanzanian, Genge or Bango nights, the East African community truly  thrives in our night life.
On Saturday 9th, Imbaraga East African radio, an internet based station added on that list by launching the second Rwanda theme night in Kampala.
The night codenamed Berwa was launched at Club Amnesia in a fun filled occasion. Berwa night is aimed at promoting Rwandese culture, music and artistes in Uganda.
To celebrate the fun fare, one of Rwanda’s best singing duo of Platini and TMC also known as Dream Boys were on board to entertain the patrons.
The dream boys have toured and performed in many African countries. They have three albums under their belt, a PAM Award and a couple of Rwandese Music Awards.
“Uganda is like our second home, we usually come to work with Ugandan producers,” said Dream Boys’ Platini.
They are currently working on two songs, jugu jugu and Narashatse with production services of Rimex and Washington respectively. They have since collaborated with Eddy Kenzo and promise more with Ugandan artistes.
“We are planning a duet with Bebe Cool, we appreciate his style and we also work with his producer,” says TMC.
The boys have such a following that on arrival, they were ambushed by girls from all corners; some simply wanted to touch them.
The night was truly designed to bring Rwanda to Uganda, the flags, music, language and the ushers of the day dressed in the Kinyarwanda traditional wear.
The club was filled to capacity making movements around impossible.
The boys thrilled the crowds which were majorly female; they did songs such as Bella, Impfabusa, Isano, Isezerano and my personal favorite, no one like me collaboration with Eddy Kenzo.
Famous city socialite and musician Pretty Glo also made a musical appearance alongside other upcoming Ugandan acts and mixes from DJs Herbert, Nemrood and Switch from 100.2 Galaxy Fm.
According to Grace Mbabazi, the public relations Imbaraga East African radio, Berwa aptly means something good.
“The show will be a monthly and we shall keep on bringing different Rwandese artists to Uganda”, she said.
Imbaraga radio is recognized by Rwanda Media High Council and East African Community for promoting East African music. They are the organizers of the monthly Ugandan night in Kigali Rwanda.
Berwa night was sponsored by Air Uganda, Galaxy Fm, Blue cube and Rwanda air.
