KAMPALA — In a deeply poignant and emotionally charged milestone showcase, celebrated gospel artist Lucas Lubyogo, widely known across the region as Levixone, moved an entire auditorium to silence and cheers over the weekend when he broke down in tears during his headline performance at the prestigious Kampala Serena Hotel.
The sold-out concert, titled A One Tym Experience, took place inside Victoria Hall on Saturday night, November 7, 2026. The evening marked a significant celebration of Levixone’s 17 years in gospel music and creative ministry, uniting thousands of worshippers, music industry peers, corporate leaders, and international acts.
Tears of Gratitude: 17 Years of Overcoming Hardships
Appearing on stage shortly before 10:00 PM dressed in an elegant snow-white outfit, Levixone was backed by a live ensemble as he delivered high-energy performances of his greatest anthems, including Turn the Replay, Jungle, and Guno Omwaka. Known for seamlessly fusing uplifting gospel messages with dancehall, reggae, and contemporary Afro rhythms, the singer had the audience dancing on their feet.
However, mid-way through his set, looking out at the jam-packed hall singing every word back to him, Levixone became overwhelmed with emotion. Recalling his humble beginnings from the slums of Kosovo in Lungujja to becoming one of East Africa’s most decorated gospel powerhouses, the artist dropped his microphone and began weeping openly on stage.
Desire Luzinda Steps In: Chemistry and Continental Praise
In a touching scene that drew deafening applause from the crowd, his wife, acclaimed singer Desire Luzinda, walked onto the stage to comfort and hold him. Luzinda gently dried his tears, offered him water, and encouraged him to continue before joining him in leading passionate worship sessions. The couple, who married in August 2025 and recently shared news of expecting twins, displayed electric stage presence and shared chemistry that set social media abuzz.
The event underscored East Africa’s expanding live music and cultural scene, mirroring high-profile regional gatherings such as Inganzo Ngari’s upcoming 20-year milestone at BK Arena and Pan-African achievements celebrated by stars like Burna Boy on global stages.
Continental Star Lineup and Philanthropic Impact
The concert carried a Pan-African flair, welcoming Congolese gospel icons Grace Lokwa (famed for Kumama Papa) and Fiston Mbuyi, alongside Malawi’s Wendy Harawa and Zambia’s Abel Chungu. Local superstars including Vinka, Elijah Kitaka, Ray G, and Mickie Wine also took the stage. Ray G performed their hit collaboration Yoya, while House of Prayer Ministries leader Pastor Aloysius Bugingo and British High Commissioner to Uganda Lisa Chesney were among the high-profile dignitaries in attendance.
Beyond the musical spectacle, Levixone announced that Shs10,000 from each ticket sold will directly support his charitable programs, notably the Feeding Kosovo initiative, Women in Hospital Outreach, and Sports for Christ Prison Outreach.
