After months of anticipation, Sheebah Karungi silenced her critics with a resounding performance and a sold-out concert at the Kampala Serena Hotel on Friday night
For someone who started out as a dancer of the defunct Obsessions group, Sheebah proved just how she had grown musically over the past 10 years.
The lit stage and lights that were set up by Fenon events gave a different touch and life to the concert as Sheebah’s entrance on stage excited those in attendance. She descended from the ceiling to get to the stage and kicked off straight into her performance.
She was backed by a full band, including horns, to bring her sound into a live setting. Clad in an all-silk shining outfit, she performed all her old songs in order, starting with her mid-tempo opener, “Nipe Yote” at exactly 9:00 Pm.
As time went on the crowd warmed up to her music and sang along as they knew most of the lyrics. Sheebah coupled with a magnificent performance and execution of her dancers had the look of one who had silenced her critics.
