Singer Bruno Kiggundu alias Bruno K has wowed fans with the remake of late singer Philly Bongole Lutaaya’s Born in Africa. The singer released the official Born in Africa cover a few hours ago and all social media in-laws have said the same thing about his version.
This song comes out at the time when Grammy nominee Eddy Kenzo’s version was trashed by most of the music lovers in the country.
The record, produced by Eli Arkhis, Bruno K has released it on Thursday, February 23, 2023. To rally enough people and artificially generate anticipation, he has taken to moving back and forth about his career and song covers.
Sheebah, he says, was the first person to give him permission to cover a song.
“Twesana acoustic version. First of all, Sheebah Karungi, I love you so much. After you heard this version of your song, you gave me a chance to perform with you. Sheebah was the first person to ever give me a chance to perform on a big stage,” Bruno K wrote.
He also did an acoustic version of Radio and Weasel’s Juicy Juicy and his dream was to perform with the duo, but Radio passed on before he could in 2018.
Bruno K followed this with Ebisanyi by veteran singer Kabuye Ssemboga that he prepared for for seven months.
He claims Ssemboga liked the first verse and chose to add his voice to the second verse.
