BEENIE Man won over Ugandan music fans on Saturday night with his magnanimous charm and skills. The Jamaican reggae star, who was baptised Dancehall King after topping Jamaican charts in the 1990s, delivered a first-rate concert to become a sure highlight of Crown Beverages’ Chamuka Keys promotion, where consumers of Pepsi products have been winning RAV4s.
Kyadondo Rugby Grounds played host to the well-attended show, dubbed, “Chamuka Keys Grand Finale with Beenie Manâ€.
The extravagance began on the stage: The lighting was magnificent, the sound fantastic and the projector screens incredible.
The show was dominated by dazzling performances from top-notch local artistes, including Jose Chameleone, Bobi Wine, Navio, HB Toxic, Cindy, Blu3 and Buchaman.
But what really got the audience leap to their feet was the appearance of the night’s headliner, Beenie Man.
He belted out snippets of his most popular dance tracks, Dancehall King, Who Am I and covers of Bob Marley’s Redemption Song, Baby Charm’s Original Story and Alicia Keys’ No One.
He was joined on stage by Cindy while doing Dude. Blu3’s Jackie lent her vocal to Better Than Dem, the song that sent the crowd dancing with reckless abandon!
The only glitch of the night was when Beenie Man fell on stage, his left leg getting stuck in a hole for almost one minute. Thank God he did not break his legs.
