People from all walks of life, the rich, poor, young and old were seen lining up for entrance confirming Jose Chameleon’s appeal across generations and social strata.

Lugogo Cricket Oval has for long been a subject of debate mostly as a measurement for an artist’s appeal to the mass audience.

One would say Chameleon’s Ggwanga Mujje concert has silenced critics and put to rest the Greatest of All Time (G.O.A.T) debate given not only the impact he has had over the years, but also the huge numbers of people who turned up last night after 25 years of rocking airwaves.

Fenon Events did the magic to make the concert successful with an eye-catchy stage, good sound and lighting, thus helping the legendary musician make a mark last night.

Fans were visibly thrilled when Chameleon made his signature roar even before stepping on the stage.

From his huge 301 music catalogue, he started off with Wale Wale at exactly 9:20 p.m. which was followed by Kipepeo.

Chameleon went on to perform other songs such as Kuma Obwesigwa, Mama mia, Dorotia, Valu Valu, Badilisha, Sanyu Lyange, Mambo Bado, Forever, Gime Gime, Katupakase and Befuula among others.

One of the biggest highlights of the concert was when he was treated to a surprise video message from his children who currently reside in Minnesota, United States of America.

Chameleon, who was visibly emotional, went on to perform 'Katupakase', a song that talks about the need for one to work hard for their family and themselves.

The audience was also treated to a surprise performance from Jackie Chandiru who performed 'Going On', a song she collaborated with Chameleon.

His nemesis turned-close-friend Bebe Cool joined him on stage. The bromance between the two was such an experience for the audience who couldn’t hide their excitement.

The two performed songs such as Bogolako leaving the audience in awe.

Mesearch Semakula also stepped on stage and performed his singles 'Kakutendereze' and 'Sigwe Asimila'.

Other artists such as Weasel, Zex Bilangi langi, King Micheal among others also performed in between as Chameleon took a break from the stage.

Gime Gime was the last song he performed on stage at 1:00 a.m.
