The 'King of Ndombolo', Antoine Christophe Agbepa Mumba, known professionally as Koffi Olomide, is expected to electrify fans in Gulu City, Northern Uganda, with a live performance at Open Mic Festival.
The event is scheduled for October 9, 2026, as Uganda celebrates Independence Day.
The Congolese singer-songwriter, dancer, producer, and founder of Quartier Latin International is noted for his explosive high notes, deep, throaty baritone, and offbeat voice.
On August 16, 2025, the legendary musician performed at Uganda’s legendary Afrigo Band’s 50th anniversary at Millennium Grounds in Lugogo.
This comes after Awilo Longomba gave both local and international audiences in Gulu unforgettable memories earlier this year in April 2026.
The CEO of Openmic Festival UG, Paul Mutunga, shared the news on his status, calling it the biggest news for Northern Uganda: "Block your calendar. God is faithful."
