As the New Year approaches, Tusker Malt Conversessions is set to deliver the entertainment gift we all deserve. The highly anticipated acoustic music series is officially back for its third season, making a bold statement by featuring trailblazing Ugandan rapper Keko as the season's opening act.
The explosive episode is scheduled to premiere on Sunday, January 5, 2025. Born Jocelyne Tracey Keko on June 3, 1987, in Tororo, Uganda, Keko has been a formidable presence in the African music scene since her rise to fame in 2010 with the release of Fallen Heroes.
Her subsequent hit, How We Do It, dominated Kampala’s charts and gained significant airplay on MTV Africa, cementing her status as a household name in East Africa.
However, there is much more to Keko than her chart-topping hits. This episode of Conversessions promises to reveal the real Keko: the visionary artiste, the dreamer, and the survivor, returning to the spotlight stronger than ever.
Having recently moved back to Uganda after years abroad, Keko is ready to tell it all. Fans can expect an unfiltered dive into her journey, from dominating the charts to facing personal challenges in Canada and rediscovering her roots.
This season of Tusker Malt Conversessions delves deep into its theme, "Behind the Craft", resonating not only with the artistes it features but also with the Tusker Malt brand itself. According to Elizabeth Mutamuliza, Head of Beer at UBL, the brand embodies authenticity and craftsmanship—whether in brewing the perfect beer or collaborating with artistes who pour their passion into creating music that moves the soul.
"The magic of Tusker Malt Conversessions lies in its ability to blend music and storytelling into a seamless experience. Just like the rich, crisp flavour of Tusker Malt, this season promises stories that linger, performances that captivate, and a celebration of the artistry behind every craft," she said.
"This season opener with Keko will take us through her life’s highs and lows, while also revealing the raw and authentic personality behind her celebrated career. Expect unheard stories, an exclusive and spectacular performance, and a splash of inspiration from your all-time favourite hip-hop artiste," she added.
After two phenomenal seasons, Tusker Malt Conversessions is raising the bar for Season 3. With a fresh lineup of iconic artistes and a renewed focus on authentic storytelling and craftsmanship, this season is poised to be the best yet. Each episode will continue to spotlight Kampala’s brightest stars in intimate settings.
