Nyege Nyege is a four day festival in Uganda, which stands for Peace, Love, and abundant Joy. It’s a special event for underground music and musicians in Africa and from Africa with a deep interest in getting to know the Continent better.
Nyege stands for Fun and Curiosity with a sense Inclusivity. And those four days is an opportunity for you to have the best time of your life and discover Uganda, the Pearl of Africa.
Born out of an act of sheer collective madness in the rainy season of 2015 (after which it moved to the dry season…), Nyege Nyege Festival is now considered the most important 4-day international music festival in East Africa for both its one of a kind curation and its unique East African party vibe.
The Festival’s aim is to showcase all the exciting development on the East African scene, to show daring projects and give a real voice to the underground, making it a highlight for both audiences and musicians alike.
Nyege Nyege is not your classic “destination festival”, it is first and foremost a celebration of Ugandan culture and African music, and the “Spirit of UG” is ever present.
Finally and most importantly, Nyege Nyege is all about dancing, because when the Nyege hits you, when the urge to dance is no longer controllable, then you must let go, and let Nyege take over!!
Enjoy!
