Mushe is officially the Wedding King of the North.
Baptised Albert Uulenga, the multi-award-winning kwaito star, has involuntarily become the face of the northern wedding season.
Week after week, Mushe has been lighting up receptions across the North, starting from Omuthiya in the Oshikoto region to Outapi in the Omusati region and this weekend? He’s doing it again.
From vows to the dance floor, if there’s a wedding in the North, chances are Mushe is on the lineup.
“I am really enjoying myself, and I just love the appreciation I receive from the people in the North. I had a busy weekend last week. Now I am packing my travel bag again,” he says.
“I will be performing at three weddings in three regions starting from Friday until Sunday. Apart from the wedding at Outapi, I will also perform at a Music Bash later at night.”
