Pius Mayanja, the one and only Pallaso, ignited Lugogo Cricket Oval as his legions of die-hard fans—and we mean thousands—stormed the Sanyu Sanyu Festival! The venue was absolutely PACKED TO THE RAFTERS, a buzzing sea of fans from every corner of the nation, from the elite VIP sections to the vibrant ordinary crowds
Attendance
Over the weekend, musician Pius Mayanja, also known as Pallaso, staged his concert at Lugogo Cricket Oval.
Many of his fans might argue the event was successful, but it was evident that a recurring challenge continued to manifest. Just like his previous event at the same venue, the Sanyu Sanyu festival attracted a good number of fans, but it was not filled to capacity.
His VIP section did not draw significant numbers, and most of the chairs remained empty throughout the night. In comparison with King Saha's January concert, Pallaso's event drew only about half the attendance.
Sound and Stage
Despite a few minor glitches, the sound engineer performed exceedingly well, and the partygoers did not leave disappointed. They will surely remember the night, which could be a strong reason for them to attend Pallaso's concert next time.
Performance
As usual, Pallaso performs exceedingly well when he chooses to do so, and he did not disappoint his fans in this regard. Throughout the night, his performance was matched by his energetic presence; he danced and vibed along with his fans.
The most popular performance of the night was when his elder brother and music legend, Jose Chameleone, joined him on stage to perform their trending song, "Byabanene." Pallaso also electrified his fans during the performance of his collaboration with Scoop Larma, "Zonna Zawedewo."
Pallaso also did not limit the number of guest artists at his concert; many of them, including both upcoming and established artists, shone brightly on his stage. Among those who performed was Dax Vibes, who garnered massive support and applause from fans as he performed his single, "At My Door," and his collaboration with Ava Peace, "Tabbu." Others who performed included Coco Figure, Ritah Dancehall, Shakira Shakira, Weasel, and Navio, among others.
Overall
Overall, the concert was a successful event, and Pallaso is surely a happy man. However, it highlighted challenges still stifling the industry, especially the low turnout at events lately. This pattern indicates a decline in the music industry. It also points to a necessary overhaul that industry leaders and stakeholders must undertake to find a way of adapting to modern challenges and opportunities for its survival.
