Events promoter Balaam Barugahara has revealed that Bobi Wine’s Mother’s Day concert wasn’t live as many people thought.
The promoter has however appreciated the singer for putting up a great performance.
During an interview on Spark TV, Baalam says the show was well recorded and perfectly produced.
“That show was well recorded and properly produced. I would like to applaud Bobi Wine for that,” he said.
Baalam adds that as much as he did not watch the concert, he was informed that the concert had good sound and nice lighting.
Asked if online shows will kick events organizers and promoters out of business, Balaam said Bobi’s show was nothing new, and that digital concerts would still need production services.
“Online concerts are the way to go and mind you we events organizers are still in the business since even online concerts need lights, sound, screens which I have,” he said. “In fact, these online concerts have been there for quite some time and of recent, my friend Rihanna held such a magnificent show.”
He added: “It’s good for the singers to do online shows for purposes of Youtube viewership because Youtube pays based on the views you have; they can get income from the internet and supplement on the money from the concerts.”
Bobi Wine’s show has been praised as successful and setting the record for other Ugandan online shows after being viewed by 28,800 people, although singer Omulangira Ssuna has come out to demand credit for introducing online concerts in Uganda.
