Unintentionally on Set of a Ugandan Music Video

A couple weekends ago, Mom and I went to go hang out at the Entebbe Botanical Garden. We found a wonderful spot right next to the Lake to hang out, play cards, and relax. Not many people around. A breath of fresh air.

All of a sudden, a big ol’ SUV came charging down the hill toward to the Lake, and parked within a couple feet of the shore. We just assumed that they were going to wash their vehicle. It was pretty dirty, and we had seen quite a few people doing that already. Well – turns out we were wrong!

4 people piled out of the vehicle, and there was a flurry of activity as they pulled out changes of clothes, video camera and tripod, and light reflectors. No way – they were going to make a video. Turns out it was a music video. Not sure who the music artist was, but we got to watch most of it. It started with them turning on a cd player in the car, and playing the music for the video over the car’s speakers. Then the musician – a young Ugandan man sits on the front of the vehicle, lip-syncing and gyrating to the music. With this little flutter hand move that had mom and I cracking up.

Then – a beyond full figured woman in a tight blue mini-dress got in on the action. It was like a low grade model shoot on the vehicle hood, and then this love story between the two actors. We couldn’t stop laughing. After about 6 repeats of the song, mom and I were getting pretty sick of the music, so it was time to take off.

Still haven’t found out who the artist was, but hoping to see it on TV soon so we can see how it actually went.
