Standing with the Legendary Irene Namatovu

To stay relevant in the music industry for over twenty years takes more than just talent. It takes dedication, resilience, and a deep connection to the people.

Irene Namatovu is one of Uganda’s true musical legends. Her long and successful journey in the industry speaks volumes about the incredible quality of her art. She has given us songs that have become the soundtrack to our celebrations, our family gatherings, and our daily lives.

At Newman’s, we also believe deeply in Ugandan art, culture, and the local talent that makes our nation shine. That is why it was a true honor for us to stand alongside this gifted icon at the press launch of her upcoming concert, “Strong Woman.”

Our Head of Marketing, Uthman Katende, represented Newman’s at the launch event. As a massive fan of local music himself, he was thrilled to share our excitement for the upcoming concert. And if you ask him about his favorite Irene Namatovu song? He won’t hesitate to tell you it is the classic Okuzaala Kujagaana.

Just like Irene Namatovu has remained consistent in delivering high-quality music to Ugandans, we strive every day to deliver that same consistency and quality in every packet of snacks we make. Partnering with creators who embody this standard of excellence is something we take great pride in.

The Strong Woman Concert will take place on Friday, 21st August at the Serena Hotel.

We are incredibly excited to support this special night and celebrate the power, grace, and artistry of a true Ugandan gem. Mark your calendars, get your tickets ready, and let’s come together to support our own!
