Reggae music lovers were over the weekend camped at the Source of the Nile in Jinja for the inaugural Reggae on the Nile festival.
The two-day Jamaican party was set on the banks of River Nile at the Bourbon; gates opened early on Saturday afternoon and by dusk, a sizeable crowd had gathered, dancing along to the sweet sounds of the Caribbean.
The event saw reggae lovers and Rastafarians dance away to a vast selection of reggae jams as sponsors, Uganda Waragi, offered alternative ‘entertainment’ with their mixologists. Some revellers said they had only seen these cocktail-mixing skills in movies and thus found them interesting to watch.
Later in the evening, the party went to the next level with the best deep roots reggae dub vibes with different deejays, including DJ Ras Brow. Patrons danced the night away to UB40, Peter Tosh, Burning Spear, Inner Circle and Bob Marley, among others.
