Iryn Namubiru takes revellers down memory lane at timeless old school experience

Singer Iryn Namubiru proved that some voices only get better with time when she treated the revellers to a captivating performance at the All-White Timeless Old School and R&B Experience held at Skyz Hotel, Naguru, on Saturday.

The Birowoozo singer gave the audience a musical treat, blending her powerful vocals with familiar hits that had revellers singing along, dancing and soaking up the nostalgic atmosphere.

Organised by EMD Events and 2AM Concept, the event brought together old-school music lovers, all dressed in white, for an evening dedicated to the golden sounds of classic hits and R&B.

The party kicked off early, with guests arriving from 6:00pm. The Maestro Band set the mood with live music, keeping the early birds entertained until about 7:30pm.

DJ Crim subsequently took charge of the turntables, serving up a selection of timeless old-school favourites that quickly got the crowd moving. With drinks in hand and nostalgia in the air, revellers needed little encouragement to hit the dance floor.

But the night's biggest musical moment came at around 9:30pm when Namubiru stepped onto the stage, elegantly dressed in white to match the evening's theme.

Rather than rushing into a song, the singer chose to make a statement with an impressive five-minute acappella performance. With no instrumental backing, Namubiru relied entirely on her voice, reminding the audience why she remains one of Uganda's most admired vocalists.

The bold opening immediately captured the crowd's attention, drawing smiles and admiration from the audience.

When the band eventually joined in, the performance gathered even more momentum. Revellers sang along to her familiar songs, while others could not resist dancing to the music.

Namubiru also kept things personal, pausing between songs to interact with the audience and create an intimate connection that made the performance feel less like a concert and more like a musical reunion.

With a line-up featuring live band performances, DJ entertainment and one of Uganda's celebrated vocalists, the Timeless Old School and R&B Experience delivered an evening of music, fashion and nostalgia.
