Every unplugged teaches you something new about live music and different artists.  You get to know the different abilities of the artists.  We started with Jaqee, Maurice Kirya, Iryn Namubiru, Mesach Semakula, Blu 3, Geoffrey Lutaaya, the list is endless and in each the artist offered something very nice.

The show started at 9:00 PM exactly but before that the crowd was warmed up by the beautiful Reggae tunes of The Roots Rockaz. The MC of the night being MC Percy introduced Peter Miles as tall dark talented gentleman who has managed to take on the dancehall music scene in Uganda.The duo walk in the room goes wild.

He peformed various songs like "One Time, Muwala, Love".  He was joined by Crystal Fabulous and performed a few Gospel tracks.  When these two performed, they almost have the same voices and the energy. He was also joined Bebe Cool and performed “Combination”.   These three just rocked the show.  The climax of the performance was when Peter Miles on piano singing a slow jam – not lover’s rock but r’n’b just like Baby Face does it. Now all the girls shouted and when the band joined in, all the guys were frowning.  He proved that he was an all-rounder.

He tried to end his performance with One time, Menshan and his extra ordinary deep voice, every time the band stopped and he said something the crowd just shouted.  The Manager of Club came to give a speech, by this time the crowd was chanting “Rukus”.  He invited Peter Miles back on stage.

Here he re-performed the lover rock ’s song which he launched at the show and after invited the half of Klear Kut i.e Papito and Da Mith on stage.  Now, without Navio around these guys performed their own remix of the song. Papito rapping in French as usual, Da Mith doing the English and Peter Miles and Menshan doing the dancehall bit.  I was really nice.

As usual every show has its goofs and its funniest moments, because of the energy these guys use on stage each time they would jump, the screens would black out for some few seconds.  Mr. Elvis Sekyanzi should improvise next time.

All in all this was a fantastic but very short show and It stands as the best Unplugged ever. I think we should have a hip hop unplugged too.  What do you think?
