Awilo Longomba’s one-hour performance at the Northern Pearl Gardens in Gulu City on Friday night is still the talk of the town.

Thousands of partygoers attended the most-anticipated show, and many left thirsty for more.

Awilo stormed the stage, just a few minutes after 2am and performed for one hour nonstop, driving the crowd crazy with some of his hits, including Karolina, which he dedicated to all the mothers present.

Before his energetic performance, many local artistes raised the curtain, including Caro Flower, Nuclear, Ezzy, Twongweno, Judas Rapknowledge, Tempra Omona, and Janneth Prisca, among others.
