The legendary Ugandan musician, Jose Chameleone, real name Joseph Mayanja, on August 31, 2024, staged a success concert dubbed Legend In Gold at the prestigious Kampala Serena Hotel, where he blessed different people with accolades.
Those he rewarded included the Ogopa DJ who produced his first song, Paddy Man, Chagga, DJ Rota, Sam Mukasa, and Bebe Cool, among others.
By 4:00 PM, fans were flocking the venue, ready to dance their bones off the flesh to the rhythms of Africa’s finest. The gates opened at 6:30 PM with revelers hungry to see their most desired artist take them through a musical experience.
At 9:00 PM, Chameleone hit the stage with Kipepewo in an outfit that was sponsored by Hussein Zari and other balads like Beyi Kali, Mambo Bado, Sinsolo, Befula, Nekolela Mali, Nsingo, Maama Mia Dorotia, technology, Katupakase, Nkwagala Nyo, Forever, Moto Moto, Maoko na Maoko, Bwelele, and Kigwa Lelo.
As the Legend celebrated his milestone, he did not leave behind the people who carried him through, like his mom-Proscovia Mayanja, Red San, Bushoke, Bebe Cool, DJ Michael, Mun G, and Mayanja brothers, and he rewarded them with accolades.
To people’s surprise, he sang with Papa Cidy’s son, reflecting on the songs they collaborated on together.
The event attracted Ugandan celebrities like Bebe Cool, Pallaso, Weasel, Melody, Vamposs, Mesach Ssemakula, Nina Rose, Ronald Mayinja, Mun G, and many others.

Chameleone excited the fans when he asked socialite Hussein Zari about the husband’s whereabouts.
“Where did you leave the big man? Big thanks to Zari. The outfit I came on stage with is courtesy of Zari,” Chameleone said.
At around 11:05 PM, The Legend reappeared on stage with Valu Valu, Badilisha, Kuma Obwesigwa, Sanyu Lyange, and more.
At around 11:40 PM, Latiff, the designer, appeared on stage, and Chameleone picked Zuena, Bebe Cool’s wife, as the model as he sang Tunavumilia at 11:53 PM. Zuena came back on stage dressed fully in what Latiff had tailored in minutes.
Red San, the Kenyan artist who taught Chameleone Kishwahili, hit the stage with reggae and ragga hits with Thanksgiving.
“Thanks, Bebe Cool and family, for supporting Chameleone. The Mayanja family cooked matooke for me in 1998. I am looking for a Ugandan wife after the show. The afterparty is at Noni Vie. I am looking for a car to drive around Kampala,” Redsan said.
Bebe Cool attacked the stage with Agenze, though he called upon revelers to protect their marriages.
“Chameleone deserves this love. Everyone must learn to deal with their problems. When Zuena left, Chameleone laughed at me. Ladies, clap for Zuena. It is not easy to love me or love Chameleone. And remember, by then, we were young. I have to respect you, my wife. You have been patient,” Cool said.
He sang songs like Love You Everyday, Obudde, and many more.
The show ended at 1:50 AM with people in his life—the man of the night thanking everyone, like his Leone Island, fellow musicians, and fans.
