Other sponsors contributing to the event’s success include Castle Lite, Sheraton Kampala Hotel, NBS TV, Fenon Events, Children of Uganda, Madmad, and Pearl Rides.
The atmosphere in Arua town is buzzing with excitement. Fally’s hit songs like “Un coup,” “Maria PM,” “Aime-moi,” “You The Best,” “Likolo,” “Eloko Oyo,” “Diamant,” and many more have been dominating the airwaves, and businesses across West Nile have been playing his music loudly in movie-selling spots, salons, and video halls.
The Lingala and Rumba genres have become an integral part of life in Arua, possibly due to its proximity to the Democratic Republic of Congo.
