delivered energetic performances. Donning traditional Rwandan outfit,
Muneza performed two singles, Agatima and Babyumva, while the duo of
Dream Boys sang Uzahahe uronke. The crowd danced and chanted along. With
his stylish outfit, beautiful sound, Tom Close, as he is affectionately
known, kept the crowd on its feet. He gave a lively and entertaining
45-minute performance before making way again for the curtain-raisers.
Tom Close was backed by the Nyundo School of Arts’ (WDA) band and the
dancers. Other highlights of the evening included a comedy performance
by Gilles Julius Niyitejeka. The 17-year-old presented unique and
exciting jokes. At some point, Niyitejeka mimicked show-biz
personalities and left the audience in a rib cracking laughter
The Ndacyagukunda singer said he was delighted after staging a successful concert.
“We
prepared for a month. I am grateful for the fans and artists and
sponsors that helped. I wouldn’t have achieved much by myself. I always
kept in touch with the fans and it has paid off,” he said.
The concert also featured performances by Jules Sentore, Mani Martin, Jean-Claude, Michel Ngabo, and Cyusa.
