Musician and judge, Francis Bihoyiki popularly known by his stage name Baket, has released a song by the name Ubutane (divorce), the 4 minute song discourages separation among married couples.
Baket is a judge at Gatumba’s lower instance court in Ngororero district, he highlights that he decided the theme of song due to a number of divorce cases which consistently appear on his desk.
“I get frustrated whenever I look at some of the issues which can be solved amicably, my song advises couples to exercise better communication especially in solving various domestic issues, really some problems are too petty to result to divorce,” he advises.
His latest song Ubutane is seen by the majority of his fans as a comeback. The once gospel singer has been silent since the year 2009 after getting the job as a judge.
“Let me set the record straight I won’t be singing or perform for any financial gains since the law restricts me to do that, but rather I will be singing for fan since I believe I’ve a calling to educate my society on good morals,” he explains.
The judge started composing songs in 2004 while he was pursing Law Degree at the National University of Rwanda. In 2006 his music career climaxed after releasing his debut album which contained hit songs such as Agahinda k’inkoko (the agony of a hen).
So far there’re allegations that his divorce song is in line with his preparation to release a second album slated to be unleashed by the end of this year.
