IN its second instalment, Xtreme 2020 gathered an even smaller audience than its launch but what was undisputed was the quality of performances that graced the event last Friday at the Garden City Rooftop.

The calibre of Christian entertainment has grown by bounds over the years and the crowd grooved to the sounds of Xodus, Sauti, Nguzu Jazz Band and jazz sensation Priscilla Namubiru.

There was an eclectic collection of dance performances; from Watoto Kid Power’s I Believe Hip Hop dance to break dancers Sword, Country Lites and Mitumizi, who performed a contemporary dance routine portraying conflicted love. The two dancers were brilliantly in sync and showed technical adeptness that was both refreshing as it was shocking.

And there to hold fort was WES Inc which was responsible for the sound and other technical support. There was fashion from The Garage, the brainchild of the late Mugabe Kaijuka, son of former energy minister Richard Kaijuka, who passed away in April.

The Garage showcased the “Celebrating the Life of Mugabe Kaijuka Collection” which signature Polo T-shirts, I Love UG Tshirts, jeans and cool, trendy, corporate suits for both gents and ladies.

“This collection is adorned with Mugabe’s signature and nickname ‘Gabs’ as a tribute to him,” said Liz, a representative of The Garage.

The evening came to an end with a heady word from author and motivational speaker Ethan Mussolini of Success Africa, with a plea to the audience to step up to what they hope to achieve rather than wait for a stroke of luck.
