Tonight at 6pm, sounds of drums, stamping feet, cheering crowds and the enchanting voice of Rwandan’s beloved Cecile Kayirebwa will be heard at Green Hills Academy in Nyarutarama, behind the Mtn center.
Cecil Kayirebwa that was in the country last year had come to teach the children from different schools from various regions across Rwanda about the importance of the preservation of our culture through teaching the children the traditional intore dances as well as lessons on Rwandan history.
Kayirebwa has now returned home once again to continue her campaign for building and preserving the Rwandan culture, which begins with her holding tonight’s performance that will raise money for development of arts and culture in Rwanda.
Tonight’s concert will not be about Cecil Kayirebwa alone, no, she will be performing some of most popular songs such as ‘None Twaza’, ‘Umunezero’ and many more with students performing alongside her. The scene will be a small and intimate gathering for lovers of cultural music and dancing.
IGIHE.com went to the school to talk to some of the students excited about performing with one of Rwanda’s great legends.
“We think it is a great way to keep children interested in their heritage as well as teach us more about our culture which could be lost to us because many kids today are more into Hip Hop and Rnb”.
Our reporter also spoke to Green Hills Marketing Manager Mrs. Lucy whom told Igihe.com that this event has received a lot of attention and Tickets have already been sold out.
She told us that apart from the parents of the students and fans of Cecil Kayirebwa, some prominent officials such as……. will be attending the event.
