Kampala just got a whole lot hotter.
Rwanda’s Afro-soul heartthrob Mike Kayihura has jetted into the city — and he’s not here to play. The multi-talented vocalist, best known for his velvet-smooth vocals and emotional depth, is the latest star to arrive ahead of the Cartel Bizness EP Listening Party — the most talked-about fusion of music, fashion, and street culture happening this Sunday, July 20, at the ever-trendy Silo 15, Bugolobi.
Kayihura will share the spotlight with a fierce lineup of East Africa’s boldest voices: Elijah Kitaka, Kamanzi, A Pass, Bensoul, Big Tril, and Tungi — all lending their unique flavors to Cartel Bizness, the game-changing new EP by the elusive fashion-forward artist Denim Cartel and sonic architect Axon.
The buzz is real. The vibes are rising. And the culture? About to shift.
Not Just a Party. A Creative Uprising.
The Cartel Bizness Listening Party isn’t your average showcase — it’s a high-octane cultural experience where sound collides with style, and where the next wave of African artistry is being born.
Expect:
-
Live performances that’ll shake your soul and move your feet
-
Daring fashion installations to blow your mind
-
Limited-edition merch you won’t find twice
-
And the first-ever drop of the full EP before it hits the world on July 23
Hosted by the unapologetically edgy Icy Sonia and Hype Cartel, with DJ Vanns turning up the heat on the decks, the night is geared to pull over 500 top-tier creatives, tastemakers, music freaks, and fashion rebels.
“It’s not just an EP, it’s a movement,” declares Axon. “We’re flipping the script and putting East Africa at the forefront — raw, real, and stylish as hell.”
The Takeover Starts Here
From Kigali to Kampala, this is more than a listening party. It’s a vibe explosion, a cultural renaissance, and a statement that the new African wave is loud, proud, and unfiltered.
So, if you weren’t planning to be at Silo 15 this Sunday… change your plans.
Because Cartel Bizness isn’t waiting for the world to catch up — it’s creating its own lane.
