The Sisters also did renditions of Michelle Williams’ When Jesus Say Yes, while Patrick Bizimana performed Menye Yesu.

"I’m happy to perform in front of this crowd and I like the way the people sang along to my music,” said Iyamuremye.
Pastor Ng’ang’a called on other artistes to come on stage and Umutoni led them in singing the Gospel song called There’s Power.
For gospel music fans, it was well worth the wait. Derrick Baingana, a procurement student, said: "The concert was full of energy from the performers and the fans danced along. It’s an expression of gratitude to God.”
