Queen / King Dancer Of The Year

2 minutes read

We have two gentlemen in this category who read a little bit too much into the “chilling with the boys” like from that Ameno song.

Enter Act 1 – Edward Kiwanuka. You know Eddie Kiwanuka. If you don’t, then you’re not a rugby fan. He’s the face of rugby – sorry to say.

But you saw more of him during the Sevens travels than Philip Wokorach. Towakana!!! That is because he’s quite the soloist, choirmaster and King/Queen dancer.

He’s a 3 in 1 combo. Buy 1, get 2 free. Eddie has mastered the art of composing songs and having fans follow him in bellowing the lyrics. He has added dance to his trade.

Eddie loves to stretch his arms out and attempt the Bakisimba of the Ganda dance.

Enter Act 2 – Bruno Akampa. Lebron James might be wondering what happened to his biggest fan in Bulindo. Well, rugby, Pirates and Fat Cats happened.

Oh, plus Crystal Panda and Alien Skin. While everyone is trying to be calm and waiting for nyigos when the sun falls, Bruno will burst out and bend low, raising friction between his foot and the ground, all in the name of dancing empele.

And, he’s best mpele dancer in Sub-saharan Africa and some parts of Asia.

Bruno vs Eddie: who is your money on? They should do a curtain raiser for the Uganda Cup final.
