Bien, one-fourth of the famous boyband Sauti Sol admitted a big sense of nostalgia as he returned 10 years later, to the iconic Victoria Auditorium.

Sometimes when I am on stage, I get a chance to look back at where I am coming from. My last time playing in this hall was 10 years ago,” he said

We (Sauti Sol) had just had our first break-out hit in Uganda called Sura Yako. Right now I look back and I am thinking to myself how beautiful those days were.”

Hitting the stage at exactly midnight, the talented vocalist went straight in performing back-to-back tunes off of his new album “Alusa Why Why Are You Topless,” and dedicating most of them to the lovers in the house.

For one and a half hours, the singer took the crowd through a thrilling marathon of his solo hits such as True Love, Sex and Marijuana – which he said he wrote for a Ugandan woman –, Chikwere, as well as the old hits by Sauti Sol.

Every so often, Bien expressed surprise at how the crowd was well-versed with the lyrics of his new songs.

“I thought I needed to teach you these lines, but it seems you are good to go,” he said.
