If you thought the September heat was enough to keep Kampala’s young crowd indoors, Vibez Nzuri had other plans. Saturday 5th Sept 2026, Gazebo in Najjera was the place to be as music lovers, young creatives and partygoers showed up for an afternoon of music, games, drinks and weekend energy.
And with Captain Morgan bringing its signature spice to the experience, the September edition of Vibez Nzuri quickly turned into more than just another hangout.
The vibe started early, with Captain Morgan transforming part of the Gazebo yard into an interactive playground where squads could compete, laugh and show off their competitive sides.
From heated tug-of-war battles to ring toss, card games and cup-guessing challenges, there was something to keep the crowd moving between performances.
Friends rallied behind their squads, turned simple games into moments of playful rivalry while the lounge spaces gave revellers room to relax, catch up and enjoy their drinks. Speaking about Captain Morgan’s involvement, Raymond Karama, Brand Manager, said the goal was to add an extra layer of excitement to the weekend.
While the games kept the crowd entertained, the stage belonged to Uganda’s emerging urban music talent. Mike Mungu, Tai Dai and Tungi took turns showing the crowd why they are names to watch in Uganda’s fast upcoming music scene. Each artist brought a different sound and personality to the stage, giving the audience a taste of the new wave shaping Uganda’s music. For many people in attendance, it was not simply about watching established stars. Vibez Nzuri created a platform for discovering what is next.
Vibez Nzuri experience would not be complete without the DJs. Ames, Damze and Rishad kept the energy high as they took over the decks, blending different sounds and keeping the crowd moving throughout as the sun went down, seamlessly transitioned from a chilled afternoon hangout into a lively evening experience.
For Brian Owomugisha, Vibez Nzuri Team Lead, the event represents something bigger than simply bringing people together for entertainment.
“When you look around the yard at Gazebo and see squads connecting, celebrating original music, and soaking in good energy, that’s the essence of Vibez Nzuri.”
And that connection was visible throughout the event from friends turning up in squads to young music fans discovering new artists. Vibez Nzuri brought together different sides of Kampala’s youthful entertainment culture under one roof.
The September edition highlighted the growing appetite for experiences that combine music, lifestyle, games and community with Uganda’s music scene constantly introducing fresh sounds and new artists, events such as Vibez Nzuri are becoming important spaces where young audiences can connect with the culture and the people shaping it.
