Swangz Avenue singer Vinka has received a major endorsement from Buganda’s Katikiro, Owek. Charles Peter Mayiga, ahead of her highly anticipated #VinkaLiveAndLoud concert at Lugogo Cricket Oval on Friday, August 21, 2026.
The singer visited Bulange, Mengo, where she formally briefed the Buganda Premier about the upcoming live show.
Following the meeting, Mayiga praised Vinka for her hard work, creativity and dedication to entertaining her fans, while using the occasion to encourage the public to support Uganda’s creative industry.
The endorsement gives Vinka another significant boost as she enters the final stretch of promotion for her concert.
Vinka’s preparations for her August concert took her to the heart of the Buganda Kingdom on Thursday, where she paid a courtesy visit to Katikiro Charles Peter Mayiga at Bulange, Mengo.
The purpose of the visit was to formally brief the Katikiro about her upcoming #VinkaLiveAndLoud show, scheduled for Friday, August 21, 2026, at Lugogo Cricket Oval.
Mayiga subsequently praised the singer for the work she has put into her music and her approach to entertaining her audience.
In a message shared on his official platform, the Katikiro described Vinka as a hardworking and creative artist who continues to innovate for her fans.
“Vinka is a hardworking and creative artist who puts immense innovation into entertaining her fans…”
Mayiga also used the opportunity to make a broader appeal for Ugandans to support local creatives.
He connected support for the entertainment industry to wider economic benefits, including employment and tax revenue.
“Let us go and support her, because whenever we support our local creatives, our nation grows, they pay taxes, and their work creates numerous jobs for others.”
The endorsement comes at a crucial point in Vinka’s concert campaign, with the singer continuing to engage different audiences ahead of the show.
Rather than stopping after the meeting at Bulange, Vinka continued her promotional activities with a visit to CBS Emmanduso, the Buganda Kingdom’s radio station.
There, she interacted with fans on air and expressed her appreciation for the support she has received from the Kingdom.
She also used the platform to promote the concert and promised fans an unforgettable performance.
The back-to-back engagements at Bulange and CBS Emmanduso underline Vinka’s continued push to connect directly with her audience before she takes the Lugogo Cricket Oval stage.
Vinka is a singer signed to Swangz Avenue, one of Uganda’s prominent music and entertainment companies.
Her upcoming show, #VinkaLiveAndLoud, is scheduled for August 21, 2026, at Lugogo Cricket Oval.
The concert is being promoted as a live performance by the singer, with Vinka using the weeks leading up to the event to engage fans and build anticipation.
Her visit to Bulange adds a cultural and institutional dimension to the promotional campaign, particularly because the meeting involved Buganda’s Katikiro.
Mayiga’s endorsement also went beyond Vinka herself.
His remarks emphasized the broader economic contribution of Uganda’s creative sector, pointing to jobs and tax revenue generated when local artists receive public support.
After the meeting, Vinka’s appearance on CBS Emmanduso provided another opportunity to speak directly to listeners and fans of the Buganda Kingdom’s media platform.
The endorsement gives Vinka’s concert added visibility at a time when the singer is working to mobilize fans for the Lugogo Cricket Oval show.
Mayiga’s comments also frame the concert as part of a bigger conversation about supporting Uganda’s creative economy.
His argument is that supporting local artists does not only benefit performers.
It can also contribute to employment and tax revenue, making the creative sector part of the country’s broader economic activity.
For Vinka, the message offers both encouragement and an opportunity to connect her concert to that wider cultural and economic conversation.
With the Katikiro publicly urging people to support the singer, the August 21 show now has another prominent endorsement behind it.
For Vinka, the visit to Bulange was also an opportunity to acknowledge the support she has received from the Buganda Kingdom.
Her subsequent appearance on CBS Emmanduso allowed her to speak directly with fans, express her gratitude and share her excitement about the concert.
She promised an unforgettable performance, setting the stage for what she hopes will be a memorable night for her audience.
The message from Mayiga, meanwhile, places the emphasis on supporting homegrown talent and recognizing the work artists put into creating entertainment for the public.
With Katikiro Charles Peter Mayiga now publicly backing her, Vinka heads into August 21 with another powerful endorsement behind #VinkaLiveAndLoud at Lugogo Cricket Oval.
