“Fun Factory gave me My big Break”- Kenneth Mugabi Opens Up to The Nile Post About His Afro-soul Singing Career
One of Uganda’s biggest Afro-soul artists Kenneth Mugabi has revealed that he got his big
break in the industry from performing on the Fun Factory Comedicine stage at the National Theatre.
“While we were on campus, a friend of mine called Shamim pestered Mendo (Teacher Mpamire) to take me to the National Theatre and give me a chance to perform which he did. He introduced me to Richard Tuwangye, who asked me to come and perform the next Thursday, and that’s how it began,” Mugabi said.
He added that his song ‘Kibunoomu’ was a crowd favourite and that when he had his first concert titled ‘Strings of My Soul’ in October 2018, almost the entire audience had come from the weekly comedy show.
Mugabi has since captivated audiences both in Uganda and beyond with his acoustic guitar, mellow voice and poetic lyrics and will be hosting the ‘People of the Land’ concert on November 24, at the Kampala Serena Hotel.
“All this is thanks to the opportunity I got from the Comedicine weekly show.”
