The Ghetto Kids  formerly Triplets Ghetto Kids are a dance/music group founded in 2014 by Daouda Kavuma composed of children from the Katwe slums in Kampala, Uganda.

In 2014, a video of Alex, Fred, Bachir, Patricia and Isaac dancing to Eddy Kenzo’s “Sitya Loss” music went viral, accumulating over 8 million views on Youtube and other social networks.

Kenzo later stated “I did not know about this clip until a friend told me about it.“ He later asked them to collaborate in the song’s official video released in September that same year, marking the beginning of the Ghetto Kids which allowed them to return to school and founder Daouda Kavuma to buy equipment to develop the group.

Advert.

He composes and produces several pieces of music for the group that toured Africa and the UK in the following months.

The group have provoked the admiration of American artists P.Diddy and Nicki Minaj, and in 2017, the group featured in the clip of French Montana’s Unforgettable, launching their success in the United States.

In January 2023, the Ghetto Kids travelled to France to perform at half-time during football club Paris Saint-German’s home game against Reims at the Parc des Princess.

In April 2023, Ghetto Kids appeared on Britain’s Got Talent where new judge Bruno Tonioli, not knowing the rules of the show, took matters into his own hands and gave them the golden buzzer mid-performance, becoming the first ever contestants to receive this mid-performance in Got Talent.

The group won the third semi-final with 39.7% of the public vote, and finished sixth place in the final, receiving 10.1% of the public vote, failing to secure a spot in the final 3.

The ghetto kids have inspired so many kids out there by proving to them that in life as long as one is alive, they can do anything to become what they want.
