A Night of Rwandan Culture, Music
IF YOU happen to be a part of the audience at Blue Africa Bar on Crested Towers this Sunday evening, you will be treated to traditional performances from assorted Rwandan artistes.
The event is Kinyarwanda Nite and performers include some of the biggest names in the Rwandan music landscape like Mako Nikoshwa and Sandra Karigirwa - who are also nominees in this year’s PAM Awards for Best Female and Male Artiste from Rwanda respectively - the Ingyezi Cultural group and Omucho Traditional dancers.
Rwandan traditional songs are often accompanied by a solitary Lulunga, a harp-like traditional instrument with eight strings.
The Intore Cultural group were the performers at the last Kinyarwanda Nite. But, according to Mako Nikoshwa, this night will be spiced up with selected Ugandan singers like Rocky Giant and Halima Namakula, who sang a duet with Nikoshwa. Rocky Giant.
