Heavy rains poured as the North eastern launch went underway in Mbale on a night that a one Bad man proved to be a real threat for the Eastern Artist of the year 2006 PAM Awards. The venue was virtually turned into a swamp but this did not stop the sons and daughters of Masaba from having fun!

Revelers who turned up in their hundreds started trickling in as soon as the gates were opened at about 6:00pm. About 8:00 Pm the infinity dancers were unleashed on to the stage so much to the satisfaction of pop lovers.

Eastern artists like Senior scorpion, Champion vibes, Sam Ckeze, Termite Gwen, Eng Kateregga, Lady Demarix and Mark P were at what they know best. The language was music, fun and food were just supplements in their quantities that they all most threatened to carry the day.

Juliet Mugirwa unleashed her new Gospel single Mumiafu a Lumasaba song that addresses the enormity of HIV/AIDS and commends the ABC strategy of fighting AIDS.

Also available on the night’s juicy menu was Fina Mugerwa of the Masanyalaze fame, Desire Kiwanuka, Alpha, the Obsessions girls, Karim saava of the Mabete fame, General Megga Dee and the Muko of the east Bebe Cool. Together, the musicians kept the revelers on their toes as they braved the rain that would have stopped an average party but not this one.

There was real fun when a musician went with his lover on stage but her performance seemed to out do his so much to the disappointment of the “star” lover.

Time Check, 2:00 Am and the next stop for the PAM Awards Launch is Nairobi May 27th. Trust me to keep you posted on this, the official PAM Awards website.
