There is a unique, undeniable power in music that goes beyond entertainment. When it is truly good, it has a way of breathing life back into weary hearts and rejuvenating the soul. This was the overwhelming sentiment at the recent press conference for gospel sensation Damasco, an event that brought together gospel music royalty, media houses, and key partners to celebrate a profound ministry.

The atmosphere was charged with fellowship and anticipation, graced by legendary figures in the gospel ministry including Pastor Wilson Bugembe and Pastor Herbert Twine, who came out to stand in solidarity with Damasco.

Representing the corporate heart behind the event, Rosette Ssegujja, the Commercial Director of Newman’s, took to the podium to share why we felt compelled to stand beside the gospel icon.

“Good music has a unique way of nurturing the soul and even the body back to life. That is exactly what Damasco’s music does,” Rosette shared warmly. “It doesn’t just entertain; it rejuvenates. It breathes life back into weary hearts.”

Rosette spoke passionately about Damasco’s moving song, Gumponya, describing it as a powerful, beautiful reminder of how God’s Grace and His Voice serve as our ultimate healing and soothing balm in a chaotic world.

For Newman’s, this partnership is rooted in a fundamental interest in celebrating local Ugandan talent. As Rosette emphasized, the brand is stepping in to complement the spiritual journey with physical fuel, ensuring that while your spirit is being ministered to, your body is kept deeply energized by our premium snacks… very Weelo!

While the press conference offered a powerful glimpse into the heart behind the music, the true celebration is just around the corner. The journey leads us to the main event—the Very Weelo Concert, happening live on Friday, August 14th at the Ndere Cultural Centre. It promises to be an extraordinary evening of deep worship, praise, and restoration.

We thank Damasco for sharing his incredible gift with the world, and we pray that his ministry continues to heal, soothe, and inspire.
