ON Saturday, PGGSS 4 was in Rwamagana for the first time and it was nothing short of spectacular. The show started a bit late because people had to first participate in the monthly Umuganda community work.  However, everything went according to plan. All artistes put on energetic performances which might make this the most hotly contested PGGSS season. 

After randomly picking numbers, Diana Teta came on stage first. She hit it off with Undi Munsi as people sang along.  She followed it up with Kata before continuing her magic with Canga ikarita. She wrapped up her performance with Nzapfa ejo, a collabo with several artistes.  

Young Grace was up next having been accustomed to performing last in previous performances in the competition.  Her nice performance saw her perform songs such as Like a boy, Muze Tubyine and Super Fly before proclaiming herself as the best female rapper in Rwanda. 

Never to run out of weird performing antics, Senderi International Hit showed up dressed like a famer holding a hoe and fresh millet from the garden.   He performed his single Turi Mu Muvuduko which got the already worked crowd screaming for more. He followed it up with Jalousie and APR FC, among others

Jules Sentore wasted no time when he hit the stage and immediately started off with the reggae song Dutaramane. Trying to balance his performance by singing in different genres, he performed the Zouk song Ndayoboza next. At the centre stage, Jules performed Udatsikira but it was his performance of Ngera that did the trick for him. 

‘Kabaka’ Jay Polly came on stage clad in a silver coloured suit and immediately started off with Ikosora. As usual, his fans had designed placards inscribed with his name, his next performance was Deux fois Deux although the crowd’s favourite was Ku musenyi which wrapped up his performance.

Always with something new up their sleeve, Active boys opened their performance with an incredible dance routine that got fans raising dust. The talented boys; Olvis, Dereck and Tizzo started by singing Pole. However, it was their song Aisha, which got the crowd singing. Their last performance was Udukoryo twinshi which is also very popular. 

Kina Music boys, Platini and TMC, were next on stage starting their performance with Mumutashye which seemed the crowd’s favourite. They performed a rendition of the old school hit Nshatse inshuti and capped up their performance with Urare aharyana.

After a weak performance in Rwamagana, Christopher – dressed up as a cowboy, was on a mission to make up for that and he did prove that to the Rwamagana crowd. This was just a day after releasing the video of his song Babyumve which he included in his performance list as well as  Uwo Munsi and Iri Joro. 

With limited time left for the road show, Bruce Melody was called on stage and started by performing Tubivemo. His next performance was the hit rock single Uzandabure but Ndumiwe closed his wonderful performance. 

Coming to perform last was Amag The Black who fans were eagerly waiting to see on stage judging by the number of placards bearing his name that were raised by the crowd. He started his act by singing Ibitenge (remix). His fans sang along when he followed it up with Turi Mu Ishuri and ended by performing Care.  

Artistes put on strong performances that indicated how challenging it will be to get the coveted crown of PGGSS.  Multitudes of people turned up for the show. It was a show that many will live to remember. PGGSS 4 heads to Gichumbi this coming Saturday.
