Event Description: Not only does this East African Diva burst on the world music scene with a unique name, but she also blazons into the industry with a fantastic new sound. Omega Bugembe Okello, who just goes by the name Omega, possesses a powerful vocal range and the international ability of singing in various languages and dialects. The songstress who hails from Uganda has been described as “having a voice that touches the soul.” Her 2008 album, Kiwomera Emmeeme, which in Luganda means “it is sweet to the soul”, is an explosion of ethnic and western sounds. This album is currently nominated for an NAACP Image Award in the category of Outstanding World Music Album. Tickets are $15.00 for all ages and are available at the Oceanside Civic Center and Mission Branch Library check-out desks. Seating is limited for this performance, so advance ticket purchase is strongly recommended. Doors open at 7:00 p.m. and it is open seating.
