This event holds particular significance as Ssegawa has revealed it will be his debut performance on stage. “I will be celebrating 43 years of my song ‘Sooka Omunonye’ on May 23rd at the National Theatre. I composed the song in 1982. It will be my first time performing on stage,” the seasoned artist confirmed.

With a career spanning nearly five decades, Diplock Ssegawa remains a respected and influential figure in the Ugandan music landscape. His upcoming concert not only celebrates a timeless classic but also marks a long-awaited milestone for the artist and his dedicated fanbase.
