Headlined by international touring DJ Alisha, the event marks the first stop of a continental journey for the Rwandan-owned and trademarked brand. After Kigali, the tour is expected to travel to several African cities, including Nairobi, Kampala, Lusaka, and Zanzibar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organized by SEEV AFRICA in partnership with Intore Entertainment and Kozo Kigali, the Kigali edition coincides with Women\u2019s Month and features an all-female DJ lineup. Alongside DJ Alisha, the event will showcase DJ Senshi, DJ Muun, and host Zuba Mutesi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The night is designed as a tribute to the women whose voices and artistry helped define the R&B genre. Guests can expect a nostalgic mix of 1990s and early 2000s R&B classics, complemented by Kozo\u2019s signature ambience, food offerings, and a premium social experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since its launch in 2024, Spin The Block has grown beyond a pop-up music event into a platform aimed at supporting the cultural and creative industries. The brand uses R&B music as a cultural connector to bring together people, networks, and opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2024 alone, the initiative contributed to the creation of more than 200 short-term jobs for youth, refugees, and persons with disabilities. It has also supported women-led small businesses and cultural icons through talent accelerators and capacity-building initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the experience\u2019s lead curator, Paul Atwine, the Kigali edition represents a defining moment for the tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Kigali edition will serve as the sound-breaking moment for the Africa Tour, symbolizing Rwanda\u2019s growing influence in the regional creative economy,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By taking the experience to other African cities, the organizers hope to export Rwandan talent and culture while opening new pathways for collaboration, revenue generation, and market access across the continent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doors for the event open at 5 p.m., with organizers encouraging early reservations as tickets are selling quickly. The evening promises a celebration of Women\u2019s Month and the queens who shaped the golden era of old-school R&B.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event is curated by SEEV AFRICA and Intore Entertainment in partnership with Kozo Kigali, with support from Martell and Big Sound AV Solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
