P-UNIT IN KAMPALA FOR A CONCERT

It’s no longer news that Kampala LC 111 chairperson Godfrey Nyakana is set to open a nightclub. Nyakana’s latest investment is called Le Beaujolais nightclub situated in the spacious Centenary Park Gardens. But the news is that the management of the new facility is set to fly in top Kenyan hip hop group P Unit for their grand opening on Friday. P Unit which comprises of Frasha, Gabu and Bon’eye is currently the biggest music sensation coming out of Kenya. The group behind the famous smash hit single Kare, was up against our own Mowzey and Weasel for the Best Africa Group award during last year’s MTV Music Awards held in Nigeria. However, the award went to Nigerian duo P-Square.

Formed in 2006, P-Unit has released four hit songs in the last two years, which include Si Lazima, Kushoto Kulia, Una and Kare. The reason for this success is that they are able to address and entertain in a language that the common man understands. Their music falls under the Genge genre. Genge is a Swahili word for mass and the group entertain the masses hence their phenomenal success,” reads part of their profile on their official Facebook page. The group has one album titled Wagenge Hao.

The Kenyan performers arrive in the country on Wednesday.
