Spice to tour Namugongo Martyrs’ Shrine, Kasubi Tombs

December in Kampala is about to get hotter. Jamaican dancehall star, Spice, real name Grace Latoya Hamilton, will take over the Lugogo Cricket Oval on December 6th for a show.

This was revealed at a press conference held earlier today (Tuesday) at Kampala Serena Hotel.

According to organisers, Spice’s visit goes far beyond the stage lights. She will embark on a journey across Uganda.

Her tour will include a spiritual stop at the Uganda Martyrs Shrines in Namugongo, a powerful symbol of faith tourism. The singer known for her notoriety in sexually seductive costume and whose lyrics border on the profane will probably need the spiritual healing.

Her tour will also cover Buganda Kingdom cultural heritage sites, notably the Kasubi Tombs and the Bulange Palace. It may provide the first platform where most of her fans will see her dressed decently.

According to the organisers, Spice will be required to dress in the traditional Kiganda gomesi for her visits to both sites. The Kasubi Tombs are categories as a World Heritage Site.

 
Additionally, the singer will also visit Murchison Falls National Park, where she will also be honored to name a rhino. Proceedings from her concert will be used to relocate Rhino’s from Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary to other protected areas. Notably, Spice will also pay a courtesy visit to the burial ground of DJ Bush Baby (Michael Owor) in Tororo. 

After the tour will follow the concert in Kampala, which will also feature some of Uganda’s most lewd female performers like Winnie Nwagi, Sheebah Karungi and Cindy Sanyu. They are undoubtedly some of the best dancehall-leaning female musicians we have in Iganda.

Nile Special Brand Manager, Eric Malinga who are beer sponsors said, “This isn’t just a concert, it’s a celebration of exceptional talent and a reflection of the vibrant connection between music, culture, and the spirit of greatness.”

 
In the past, several Jamaican reggae stars, like Buju Banton and Tarrus Riley, have visited tourism sites in Uganda prior to their performances.
