Ugandan R&B sensation Joshua Baraka is currently commanding the East African live music circuit with his official regional tour leading up to his massive headline festival experience.
Fresh off breaking regional Spotify streaming records, the NANA hitmaker has embarked on a multi-city run that brings his live stage experience straight to fans across upcountry Uganda and neighboring East African hubs.
1. Upcountry Uganda Pop-Up Shows
