The talented vocalist and member of the boy-band Sauti Sol admitted last Thursday, to learning a great deal from Ugandan legendary artists.

It was mostly Ugandan music that made me the musician that I am today,” Bien said at his concert held at the Kampala Serena Hotel.

I am grateful for your existence as a country and as a people, and for what you’ve done for this continent. I love you.”

During the love-themed concert, Bien performed up to five Ugandan songs including Mbozi Za’malwa which Bebe Cool did in 2018 with Sauti Sol, Jose Chamelone’s Mama Mia and Jamila, as well as Obsessions’ Jangu.
