Just two days later, on Sunday, July 27th, singer Lydia Jazmine elevated the tempo with a glamorous listening party for her debut album The One & Only at the chic Noni Vie. The event doubled as her birthday celebration an intimate, invite-only soirée brimming with class, joy, and musical finesse.
Draped in a shimmering red outfit, Jazmine glowed as she performed selected tracks from the 15-track project. From the moment she stepped on stage, it was clear this wasn’t just an album rollout it was an emotional unveiling of her soul. “This is my other identification,” she confessed. “I’ve cooked this for over two years.”
The album is an Afro-fusion masterpiece, blending love ballads, club bangers, and soulful melodies. It features continental powerhouses like Skales (Nigeria), Bwiza (Rwanda), Lava Lava (Tanzania), and legends like Blu*3, Elijah Kitaka, and Jose Chameleone. Produced by a star-studded lineup Artin, Nessim, Bass Boi, Gopa Beatz and more the album showcases a matured, self-assured Lydia Jazmine.
The audience, which included Jose Chameleone, Eddy Kenzo, Karole Kasita, and media tastemakers, gave glowing reviews. Hugs, laughter, and heartfelt messages filled the air. It was a beautiful night of celebration and validation.
What both events proved is that Kampala is not just a city of consumers it’s a city of curators. Of listeners who crave substance, sound quality, and stories that reflect their lives and dreams. From the gritty storytelling of The Mith to the Afrocentric elegance of Lydia Jazmine, the weekend marked a defining moment for Ugandan music.
