“When I came in, I was amazed by the level of organisation. Everything is on point. I saw the stage while landing, and the entire venue set-up is a pleasant surprise. I did not expect it,” the Tanzanian superstar shared.

He praised Uganda’s dedication, adding, “This should make not just Uganda but the whole of East Africa proud. This tells the region how serious you are as a country.”

The concert celebrated not only music but also the powerful story of coffee in Uganda.

Before the show, Bebe Cool and Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Rt. Hon. Thomas Tayebwa toured the Inspire Africa Coffee Park near Lake Nyabihoko. Guided by Inspire Africa Group CEO Nelson Tugume, they explored sprawling coffee plantations and modern processing facilities — a testament to the region’s ambitions to turn coffee into a major economic driver.
