Uganda’s most iconic band just hit the accelerator on their golden jubilee celebrations — and they’re doing it in style, thanks to a brand-new partnership with CFAO Mobility!
With their historic “Afrigo at 50” concert just around the corner (mark your calendars for August 16th), the legendary Afrigo Band made a surprise pit stop at CFAO Mobility Uganda’s plush showroom in the Industrial Area — and fans, this was no ordinary visit.
Welcomed like royalty, band veterans James Wasula and Herman Ssewanyana took a grand tour through CFAO’s expansive space, from Yamaha bikes to Toyota’s finest wheels, showing the same curiosity and energy they’ve brought to the stage for five decades. And the verdict? “Afrigo and Toyota — same DNA: built to last!” joked one staffer.

But the real headline? CFAO Mobility is now the official mobility partner for the Afrigo at 50 celebration — a match made in legacy heaven. Patricia Tusuubira, CFAO’s vibrant Marketing and Events Coordinator, couldn’t hide her excitement:
“Just like Toyota’s legendary durability, Afrigo has stood the test of time. This partnership is about more than sponsorship – it’s a tribute to staying power!”
And there’s more — FREE concert tickets! CFAO Mobility has launched a red-hot ticket giveaway: spend UGX 300,000 or more on spare parts and you could find yourself grooving at Uganda’s biggest musical blowout. That’s right — service your car, and you might just end up front row at Afrigo’s Golden Jubilee!
During a heartfelt press briefing, Afrigo’s Executive Director James Wasula reflected on the band’s 50-year journey:
“It’s been a long road, with ups and downs, but we’re still standing — and this partnership gives us new wind in our sails.”
Talent Africa’s Aisha Nansamba chimed in with a bold statement of her own:
“This is not just history for Uganda — this is African music history. Afrigo is the heartbeat of the continent.”
Set to headline the third edition of the Legends of Sound series, Afrigo’s 50th bash promises fireworks, live horns, and timeless grooves — plus an electrifying guest performance by none other than Congolese superstar Koffi Olomidé!

For fans itching to join the party, tickets are flying fast:
• Bronze – UGX 50,000
• Silver – UGX 100,000
• Gold tables – UGX 3M
• Diamond tables – UGX 5M
• Platinum – UGX 10M (now that’s legendary!)
From their roots in the Cranes Band back in 1975, to global fame as Afrigo (a name born from “Africa Go Black Power”), the band has become a symbol of resilience, unity, and pure talent. And at 76 years young, band leader Moses Matovu is still setting the pace!
So buckle up, Uganda — Afrigo Band is cruising into their golden years, and they’ve got CFAO riding shotgun. This isn’t just a concert. It’s a cultural milestone. Don’t miss the ride!
