Uganda’s dance troupe, Triplets Ghetto Kids, is flying the Ugandan flag high after winning the
Golden Buzzer mid-performance at Britain’s Got Talent 2023 on Saturday, April 15, 2023.
Ghetto Kids, who have played on various large venues, including the 2022 FIFA World Cup, were performing for the first time on Britain’s Got Talent, and they left fans and judges Bruno Tonioli, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon, and Simon Cowell wanting more.
They performed an outstanding routine, leading Italian choreographer and television personality Bruno Tonioli to press the Golden Buzzer, resulting in a standing ovation for the Ghetto Kids during their very first audition for the competition.
“I was literally exploding. I am telling you, you should be proud of yourself. I can’t wait to see you back,” Bruno Tonioli said.

Cowell said that the golden buzzer, which takes the act directly to the competition’s live semi-final, had never been pressed during a routine before, but hailed the occasion as “magical.”

Cowell said that the golden buzzer, which advances the act to the competition’s live semi-final, has never been pressed during a routine before, but hailed the occasion as “magical.”
He added: “I think it’s incredible. You’re so young, you’ve flown all the way, but don’t worry, this is an audition we’ll remember, and it was fantastic.
Ghetto Kids and other participants, made up of around 30 children from an orphanage in Uganda, are competing for a £250,000 reward and the chance to play in front of the royal family at the Royal Variety Performance later this year.
Eddy Kenzo, a popular Ugandan musician, beams with delight as he watches Triplets Ghetto Kids dazzle the judges and audience of Britain’s Got Talent with their high-energy dance routine.
The Ugandan singer couldn’t disguise his delight as he praised the dancing sensations and their captain, Kavuma Dawuda.
Kenzo spotted the teenage dancers on the streets of Kampala and catapulted them to international fame.
The musician shared Ghetto Kids’ spectacular performance that earned them a golden buzzer on his Facebook page, writing: “Dreams come true, we thank God for this milestone, Mr Kavuma Dauda and The Triplets Ghetto Kids mukama mulungi. Viva Uganda viva east Africa viva Africa. God is indeed mighty.”
