Le concert aura lieu au lendemain de la 21\u1d49 c\u00e9r\u00e9monie de d\u00e9nomination des gorilles, pr\u00e9vue le vendredi 4 septembre \u00e0 Kinigi, dans le district de Musanze, sous le th\u00e8me \u00ab Conservation is Life: Sustaining the Future \u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rema, de son vrai nom Divine Ikubor, sera accompagn\u00e9 d\u2019artistes rwandais et de la r\u00e9gion, dont le chanteur rwandais Kivumbi King, d\u00e9j\u00e0 annonc\u00e9 pour assurer la premi\u00e8re partie, tandis que d\u2019autres noms restent \u00e0 d\u00e9voiler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En quelques ann\u00e9es seulement, Rema s\u2019est impos\u00e9 parmi les artistes africains les plus en vue sur la sc\u00e8ne mondiale gr\u00e2ce notamment \u00e0 des titres comme Dumbi, Iron Man, Woman, Soundgasm, Charm et Calm Down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Son succ\u00e8s a pris une nouvelle dimension avec le remix de Calm Down, enregistr\u00e9 avec Selena Gomez, qui a atteint la 3\u1d49 place du Billboard Hot 100 et est devenu l\u2019un des grands succ\u00e8s internationaux de l\u2019Afrobeats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le titre lui a \u00e9galement valu plusieurs distinctions, Rema et Selena Gomez ayant notamment remport\u00e9 le MTV Video Music Award du meilleur titre Afrobeats en 2023, lors de la premi\u00e8re attribution de cette cat\u00e9gorie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La m\u00eame ann\u00e9e, Rema a \u00e9t\u00e9 r\u00e9compens\u00e9 aux Trace Awards \u00e0 Kigali, o\u00f9 il a notamment remport\u00e9 les distinctions de Global African Artist of the Year et Song of the Year pour Calm Down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Son album HEIS, sorti en 2024, lui a par ailleurs permis d\u2019obtenir sa premi\u00e8re nomination aux Grammy Awards, dans la cat\u00e9gorie du meilleur album de musique mondiale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Selon le RDB, le concert constituera le principal rendez-vous musical des c\u00e9l\u00e9brations de Kwita Izina, alors que l\u2019\u00e9v\u00e9nement doit r\u00e9unir des artistes rwandais et internationaux \u00e0 l\u2019issue d\u2019une semaine consacr\u00e9e notamment \u00e0 la conservation et au tourisme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ir\u00e8ne Murerwa, en charge du tourisme au RDB, a soulign\u00e9 le fait que Kwita Izina est \u00e9galement une occasion de mettre en avant la culture et le peuple rwandais, au-del\u00e0 de la seule conservation des gorilles, invitant les Rwandais, les visiteurs et les m\u00e9lomanes de la r\u00e9gion \u00e0 participer au concert du 5 septembre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lanc\u00e9e en 2005, Kwita Izina s\u2019inspire de la tradition rwandaise consistant \u00e0 donner un nom aux enfants peu apr\u00e8s leur naissance. La c\u00e9r\u00e9monie est devenue au fil des ans un important rendez-vous international consacr\u00e9 \u00e0 la conservation des gorilles de montagne, r\u00e9unissant acteurs de la conservation, autorit\u00e9s, professionnels du tourisme, communaut\u00e9s et visiteurs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
