Recent developments

In January 2015, Afrigo Band began regular performances at Club Silk, in Kampala's Industrial area, every Friday evening. Although the club attracts a predominantly young audience, with the arrival of Afrigo, Club Silk is expected to ring in more mature revelers, above the age of 40 years.[9] In November 2015, the band celebrated its 40th anniversary with a sold-out concert at Hotel Africana, in Kampala.[10]
