For years, the Star Eagles duoโ Denaya Dennis and Tony Manasโwere a defining force in South Sudanโs music scene, captivating audiences with their soulful melodies and thought-provoking lyrics. Then, as the industry evolved, the duo seemingly vanished from the spotlight, leaving fans wondering if they would ever return.
That question was answered in spectacular fashion at the Pojulu Cultural Festival 2025, where Star Eagles made their long-awaited comeback. The moment they stepped onto the stage, the energy in the crowd shifted. As the first notes of their hit songs filled the air, the audience erupted, singing along word for wordโa testament to the lasting impact of their music.

The duoโs return wasnโt just a nostalgic moment; it was a statement. Their performance was electrifying, blending traditional Pojulu rhythms with their signature contemporary sound. The festival, known for celebrating cultural heritage and unity, provided the perfect backdrop for their resurgence.
While Star Eagles had fewer appearances in recent years, they remained active in select performances, including their 2023 gospel hit Yesu Kuko Na. Their ability to maintain relevance despite their absence speaks volumes about their artistry and connection with their audience.
Remaining relevant in the ever-evolving music industry is no easy feat, but Star Eagles have proven that authenticity and connection with their audience are key. Their return highlights several important lessons for artists navigating the industry:
- Cultural Connection โ By embracing their roots and performing at a festival that celebrates identity, they reinforced their bond with their audience.
- Timeless Music โ Their songs, despite their time away, remained deeply embedded in the hearts of fans.
- Strategic Comeback โ Choosing a high-profile cultural event for their return ensured maximum impact.
- Adaptability โ Their ability to blend traditional and modern sounds keeps them relevant.
- Engagement โ Their interaction with the crowd showed they still understand the pulse of their listeners.
Their next major appearance is set for May 24, 2025, during the He Can album launch by Manara Jacob. This promises to be another mega event, further cementing their return to the music scene. Fans are eager to see how they will build on this momentumโperhaps with new music or a tour.
One thing is certainโStar Eagles have reminded South Sudan why they were beloved in the first place. Their comeback at the Pojulu Cultural Festival was more than just a performance; it was a revival of their legacy. And if this is any indication of whatโs to come, the South Sudanese music industry should brace itself for another wave of Star Eagles magic.
