Sembera Maama…. Yanguwa Lola…’ lovebirds at Sheraton Kampala Hotel gardens chorused as they joined the rest of the world in the celebrations of Cupid’s Day. Known for his love ballads, singer Geosteady Blackman’s melodic voice set the tone for the country’s largest Valentine’s Day concert.
By 5 pm, lovers were walking hand in hand and capturing the moments at V&A’s photobooth. They began securing the best spots and front-row seats, awaiting a lineup of singers such as Juliana Kanyomozi, Mariam Ndagire, Irene Ntale, Lydia Jasmine, Fik Fameica, and Fefe Bussi, among others, who were confirmed for the big show.
Uganda’s Favourite Sherry V&A ensured that with every love ballad, there was a perfect serve of the liqueur in both its neat and Vangria forms to escort the melodies and soundtracks of love from the artists.
“Valentine’s Day is a celebration of the love that is shared amongst ourselves. As V&A, we partnered with Geosteady, a musician whose music is renowned for special intimate moments, to give our consumers a unique Cupid’s Day experience,” said Rochart Kaweesa, the Brand Manager for V&A. “Today, we celebrated love with our consumers in moments that are special to them,” he said.
When Geosteady took to the stage, the crowd turned to the musicians, lip-syncing to hit songs such as Sembera, Same way, Soulmate, and Nze Naawe, among others.

While the songster performed, a gentleman took to the stage and proposed to the sherry of his life, a scene that froze and choked the crowd with emotion as the moment was sealed with a bouquet and prize of a trip as content creators snapped the moment while the crowd ‘awwed’ and ululated at the love and connection that had been displayed.
As the night came to a close, everyone was exhausted in a good way: love was celebrated, memories were made, old and new friendships had been rekindled, and the next day they would probably be humming a Geosteady song.
