On arrival at Entebbe International Airport for Sunday’s Blankets and Wine edition, Kenyan boy-band Sauti Sol asked the organizers reach out to the family of fallen music producer Danz Kumapeesa aka Dan Mukisa. Kumapeesa produced one of 2017’s biggest songs in East and Central Africa ‘Mbozi Zamalwa’ by Bebe Cool with Sauti Sol.
He was attacked and clobbered on June 4th by unknown people while he was returning home and from that time, he was been in coma at Nsambya hospital till his eventual death.
Now popular Kenyan boy-band Sauti Sol wants to celebrate his life at this year’s last edition of the Blankets and Wine fest, band member Willis Austin Chimano asked UBL Brand Manager Premium Beers, Grace Namutebi in Entebbe on Friday.
“Please bring Danz Kumpeesa’s family on 17th December at the Lugogo Cricket Oval so that we (Sauti Sol) and our Ugandans fans show them love,” Chimano said.
“It is always sad when a young man like Danz dies yet his talent, we understand his family is going through a lot right now thus we wish to send our love and gratitude,” the vocalist added before guitarist Polycarp Otieno interjected: “Danz made for us a very good song and we want to perform Mbozi Zamalwa in Kampala for the first time when his mother is in presence.”
Sauti Sol’s performances will be preceded by acts from the former singing duo of Benon and Vamposs. There is also an array of DJs lined up to perform.
