Radio made it clear that this was a show for their fans and indeed it turned out to be so as ardent fans of the duo showed up for their Omwana Wa Baandi album launch in good numbers last night at Hotel Africana despite a call from opposition politicians to boycott their shows for supporting the ruling NRM party and President Yoweri Museveni.
