Video: Carol Nantongo excites Pallaso while dancing together on stage

Carol Nantongo reminded Pallaso who she is as they danced together on stage.

Carol Nantongo and Pallaso

Pallaso, real name Pius Mayanja, and Nantongo performed together during one of the Jam Sessions that are held weekly at A'lure Hotel & Suites Mutundwe in Kampala.

As they danced, Pallaso stared at Carol Nantongo's and his reaction gave away what was on his mind.

Jam sessions were reintroduced by Eddy Kenzo, the president of the Uganda National Musicians Federation, as a way of reuniting musicians.

Raised in Kyaliwajjala, Namugongo, the songstress started singing at church and school.

After S.4, due to financial challenges, her mother told her to study hairdressing.

While pursuing hairdressing, an associate encouraged her to register for Coca-Cola Related Next.

Though she didn't win, a lady identified her and connected her to Golden Band.

At Golden Band, she impressed Catherine Kusasira, then she was introduced to KT Events who introduced her to Judas.

The first song he wrote for her was Nsinka. KT bankrolled the production.

She has since churned out great songs and even collaborated on projects with celebrated artistes like Eddie Yawe, Kampala Boys and Sheebah Karungi.

For Pallaso, the music career kicked off after Goodlyfe teamed up with him on Amaaso.

The song became a smash hit, prompting him to return to Kampala after 10 years of living and working in the U.S.

Weasel and Radio had traveled to Los Angeles, California, having been nominated in the 2013 BET Music Awards for Best International Act Africa.

10 years later, in 2014, he returned to Kampala to concentrate on his music career.

In the year of his return, he recorded two hits -- Mundongo and Get Down Low -- with Sheebah Karungi, and he is now a mainstay in the industry.
