Uganda’s most iconic band is marking a major milestone and Stanbic Bank is proudly powering the celebration of the highly anticipated Legends of Sound: Afrigo@50 concert.
The golden anniversary event is set to rock Millennium Grounds, Kampala, on Saturday, August 16, 2025, in what promises to be the cultural and musical highlight of the year.
Speaking to the media in Kampala at the Sheraton Hotel, the organiser—Talent Africa Group said the partnership with Stanbic Bank Uganda is through its flagship FlexiPay digital payments platform.
Now in its third edition, the Legends of Sound concert series celebrates timeless African music legends. This year’s edition honours the unrivalled legacy of Afrigo Band, Uganda’s longest standing and most beloved musical ensemble. For over five decades, Afrigo has been the heartbeat of Uganda’s sound — blending tradition and innovation, heritage and showmanship.
A Legacy Soundtrack, 50 Years Strong
From their first note in the 1970s to their modern-day masterpieces, Afrigo Band has defined the sound of Uganda. Their music tells the story of a people — soulful, celebratory, resilient.
The concert will feature an all-star lineup of Afrigo veterans including Moses Matovu, Rachel Magoola, Joanita Kawalya, Herbert Kigundu, Sarah Namulondo, Charles Busuulwa, and many more. Their timeless hits will be reimagined in a dynamic, festival-style production.
To make this even more unforgettable, legendary Congolese superstar Koffi Olomidé, the “King of Ndombolo,” will headline a special guest performance — bringing his high-voltage charisma and cross-continental sound to the Kampala stage.
