The other three Paths chase heritage. This one chases a living scene at its loudest moment. Kampala's Nyege Nyege collective built the most exciting underground on the continent out of a rented villa — a residency, two record labels, a club night — and once a year it empties onto a camp on the River Nile for four days and nights. You go to the source of the sound the same week you go to the source of the river. Singeli, acholitronix, Bugandan drum-machine techno, gqom, amapiano — 300+ artists, 40+ countries, seven stages, one bend of white water. This is a fixed date, not a template: 19–22 November 2026, at Adrift Overland Camp, Kalagala Falls.
Two days in Kampala to meet the sound where it's made, a slow road east to the water, then the festival itself. Land two days early — this is not a place to arrive tired.
Camp-in on the Thursday. Four days and (crucially) four nights of programming that runs from traditional music to electronic outliers — singeli, afrobeats, gqom, and everything the labels have signed — spread over seven stages on a bend of white water. Beyond the music: art installations, film, workshops, and the Nile itself. Tickets through KayeTickets; the earlier you buy, the less you pay.
