Kampala, Uganda | THE INDEPENDENT | The 19th edition of Roast and Rhyme that was held on Sunday at Jahazi Pier Munyonyo was a powerful testament to Ugandans’ commitment to having a good time on a weekend.
From the moment the gates opened at noon, guests were ushered into the venue and took their spots around the large space – setting up their mats and camping chairs, ordering drinks and grilling meat in an experience curated by Bell Lager under its Mpola Enjoyments theme.
However, at about 6 pm, the weather took a turn and there was a consistent downpour that lasted about an hour, but as soon as it ceased, the guests braved the wet and muddy ground to continue the party with performances from Steve Keys, Myko Ouma and the band, Lydia Jazmine and Levixone.
Grace Amme, Bell Lager’s brand manager, said, “Roast and Rhyme is the perfect setting for our consumers to come together with their friends and loved ones to enjoy live music, cold drinks and a variety of meat delicacies by the lakeside.”
