Launch: Tonight
Venue: Hotel Africana
Today is definitely NYAMBURA DAY! The day when singers Moze Radio and Weasel TV prove their might in the local music industry. The day when the singers practically prove that the Chameleone/Bobi Wine and Bebe cool dominance is officially over. The good lyf singers are launching their second album Nyambura tonight at Hotel Africana in a concert music pundits predict could be bigger than mentor Dr. Jose Chameleone Ba Yuda concert in January.
It should be noted that the twosome (Radio and Weasel) were under the 'tutorship' of Chameleone for over five years. But one day they called it au revoir and a hit Nakudata was born. It was followed up by hit after hit...
Rise to Stardom
As already told, Moze and Weasel have been in the music business for long but under the shadows of their big boss Dr. Jose Chameleone. They quit his group sighting mistreatment and disrespect. Ever since they quit, they have been unbelievably successful with each song a hit. Since their Nakudata was voted song of the year in last year's PAM Awards, Radio and Weasel have realised hits like Nyambura, Zuena, Bread & Butter, Sitani, Where You are and most recently Number one among others.
Nyambura Launch
It is on tonight at Hotel Africana for Shs 20,000, then tomorrow at Colline Hotel in Mukono and Ggaba Beach on Sunday. One thing is for sure, these guys won't disappoint.
