Primus GumaGuma superstar season 4 continued this Saturday with music stars rocking the town of Ruhango in the Southern Province.
Thousands of music fans filled up the district headquarters main ground to have a glimpse of their stars. Well prepared to deal with any emergency situation was the Police force, Bralirwa security personnel and Red Cross.
The Mc’s Anita Pendo and Tino thrilled the crowd with jokes. There was thunderous noise and clapping when artistes finally arrived and headed back stage. The artistes, who had earlier held a talk show on Radio Huguka in Muhanga, looked refreshed and relaxed. Backstage, they changed into their stage gear while others tested their vocals.
Soon, it was show time. Stars came on stage according to the number they picked in the draft selection process but the most exhilarating performance came from Senderi International Hit. Dressed like a chef, Senderi sent the crowd screaming when he performed a song he composed for Rayon Sport. Senderi performed Turi mu muvuduko, Jalousie and Icyomoro.
However, before Senderi hit the stage, Hip Hop sensation Jay Polly staged an amazing performance. From Ikosora to Chagua and the crowd’s favourite Deux fois Deux, Jay Polly’s performance took him further up the ladder of the favourites to win this year’s PGGSS 4 title.
Amag the Black was second to come on stage after Jay Polly. He started off with Turi kw’ishuri before performing Care, a song where he talks about how ladies are ‘dethoothers’. MC Anita Pendo asked him if he was not generalising all ladies as ‘dethoothers’ and Amag the Black responded by saying "we sing about what I see” sending the crowd into laughter. His last performance was Agakaye although the crowd didn’t warm up to him.
Diana Teta took to the stage after Amag the Black and hit it off with Canga Ikarita. The crowd could be seen singing along and dancing. She was asked by the crowd to sing from the center stage and she immediately took them by storm when she sang her verse in the hit-single Fata Fata as people cheered her on. Amongst all her songs, the crowd’s favourite was Kata, a song released this year in response to rumours that she had bribed her way into PGGSS 4.
Bruce Melodie brought his rock fusion style in his songs Uzandabure and Indorerwamo and proved he was a good singer. His smooth vocals gave him the ability to easily connect with crowd. He further moved the crowd when he performed his hit-single Njyewe ndumiwe as his closing act.
Clad in jeans and a basketball jersey, the Hip-Hop star, Young Grace kicked off her performance with Mpa umusada. Fusing most of her songs in a nonstop mix style, she performed tracks like Bingo, Party and Like a boy. She tried to put up a spirited performance but the crowd did not connect well with her.
The ‘Ladies man’ Christopher, was next on stage. He kicked off his performance with a thrilling performance of Birahagije. Women screams could be heard in the crowd as they requested him to perform at the center stage. The crowd applauded him as he proceeded to perform Habona, Ndabyemeye and Iri joro.
Gakondo singer, Jules Sentore was next on stage where he kicked off his performance with an amazing accapella song. He proceeded to perform his reggae song Dutaramane, Ngera and the crowd’s favourite Udatsikira. He capped his performance with plea for votes as all artistes who came before him did and a call to support Gakondo music.
Active group hit the stage with an amazing dance performance that was breathtaking to say the least. The boys Tizzo, Derek and Olivis displayed their energetic synchronized dance moves twice during their stage performance. They sang Pole, Uzansaza and Aisha which was the crowd’s favourite song.
Dream Boys were the last to hit the stage and got a deafening applause from a crowd that did not want the show to end. TMC and Platini wowed the crowd with the hit Ungaraguza agati, they followed it up with Urare aharyana. Saving the best for last, they performed the classic old school hit Nshatse inshuti as the crowd sang along.
However, with all the amazing performances, a fantastic crowd and excellent management; the curtain finally rolled down on an incredible PGGSS 4 road show. PGGSS 4 will head to Kabarondo in the Eastern Province.
