However, Eddy Kenzo won’t be the only performer at the ceremony. He will share the stage with Savara from Kenya — formerly of the celebrated group Sauti Sol — and Wasafi Records’ Zuchu, one of Tanzania’s leading Bongo Flava stars. Together, the three artists will represent their respective countries in what is being called a “musical celebration of East Africa.”

Kenzo’s appearance will ensure Uganda remains part of the tournament’s grand finale since it was a joint host. His presence brings national pride and excitement to Ugandans who have followed the competition from the start.

Meanwhile the event marks a historic edition of CHAN, co-hosted by Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania, and seen as a significant step in promoting regional cooperation through sports and entertainment.
