This Saturday, June 21st, Kampala will resonate with the rhythms of the world as the Serena Hotel transforms into a vibrant tapestry of sound, dance, and cultural celebration.
Uganda is marking a major musical milestone—its first-ever official World Music Day concert, and leading the charge is none other than South Africa’s rising sensation and Queen of Amapiano, Chley.
First celebrated in France in 1982, World Music Day was born from a simple yet powerful idea: to make music free and accessible to all, with spontaneous performances in public spaces.
Decades later, it has blossomed into a global movement—and now, Uganda joins the map.
Chley: A Cross-Continental Star
South Africa’s Chley, best known for her bold sound and genre-defying performances, is expected to electrify the stage with her signature style—a fusion of Afropop, Amapiano, and rich Southern African influences.
Her presence at the Kampala event underscores the cross-cultural essence of World Music Day, making her not just a headliner but a symbol of pan-African unity through music.
Fans and new listeners alike highly anticipate Chley’s performance, as she brings the energy of Johannesburg’s streets to the lush gardens of Kampala.
Chley won’t be alone in lighting up the evening.
The concert will showcase an impressive roster of Ugandan talent, including crowd favourites like MC Zahara Totto, Elijah Kitaka, Karole Kasita, Zani Lady C, and Winnie Nwagi, among others who have carved out strong identities in East Africa’s music scene.
