In an emotionally charged moment that bridged cultures and celebrated the power of music, Jamaican dancehall sensation Konshens touched down in Uganda this morning, gearing up for what promises to be an unforgettable performance at Blankets and White but he spared sometime to visit late icon Mowzey Radio's final resting place.

Before checking into his hotel and diving into the Ugandan music scene, Konshens, accompanied by his entourage and a swarm of media representatives, embarked on a poignant journey to the resting place of the late Mowzey Radio in Kagga.

Mowzey Radio, a revered Ugandan musician, left an indelible mark on the nation's musical landscape until his tragic passing on February 1, 2018. The artist succumbed to a blood clot in his brain, the result of an altercation at a bar in Entebbe just days prior. His untimely demise shook the Ugandan music community and beyond.

Today, Konshens paid his respects to Mowzey Radio at Kagga-Nakawuka in Wakiso District.

The dancehall sensation, known for his infectious beats and electrifying performances, took a moment to connect with Mowzey Radio's mother, Kasuubo Jane, in a gesture that resonated with the warmth and unity inherent in the world of music.

In a touching tribute, Konshens delicately placed a flower on Mowzey Radio's grave, acknowledging the profound impact the late artist had on the music scene.

The Jamaican artist's homage adds to a growing list of international musicians who have honored Mowzey Radio's memory since his passing.

As Konshens continues with his packed itinerary, including the eagerly anticipated performance in Kampala, his heartfelt homage serves as a testament to the transcendent power of music and the interconnectedness of artists across borders.
