Kampala-Looking resplendent in a red Gomesi with a golden sash tied around her waist, Annet Nandujja made her debut DOADOA appearance like a true Muganda woman. Her dancers, also clad in the same outfits, followed her in a single file gracefully swaying to the sound of Nandujja’s voice singing one of her most popular songs, Abaami. The song, which praises men on their ability to tame the wildest women and make women fight each other, particularly struck a chord with the male revelers who could not help feeling a little too important. Who would not?
Shortly after they changed into the traditional Kiganda dance attire; printed tops that covered their shoulders, with white silk materials in their midriff sections that accentuated the body undulations, wide floor-length Kikoyis, raffia skirts around the back plus a sash around the waist line that gave a clear finish to the raffia skirt. They as usual added dance animal skins at the backside. It was clearly time to dance!
Nandujja singing songs about day to day issues like marriage and women’s hygiene had the audience engaged while the dancers too showcased their skill at dancing baakisimba
