Below, he takes us through what constitutes his perfect weekend:

My perfect weekends include: relaxing in a good environment and eating delicious food with my children and friends. Whenever I don’t have a show to stage, often, my weekends begin on Friday evenings. I go home and decide with my family the weekend’s programme.

If I’m in Kigali, my children and I will escape the city to Gisenyi, and spend the weekend at the beach. However, I don’t fancy swimming because I consider it as immoral for someone to reveal too much of the body in public. But, I will instead sit back and watch those swimming.

On weekends, I normally wake up late depending on what time I slept. I also ensure I enjoy a heavy breakfast. Eggs, bread, tea and juice will be my choice for starting a Perfect Weekend.

My favourite dishes are African foods. On weekends I make sure I visit a restaurant which offers an African dish. And for that matter, I wouldn’t miss to taste cassava, yams, matooke, pumpkins and sweat potatoes. And also greens, beans, ground-nuts, peas and beef, to have a balanced diet.

I’m not a club fan, but I must be honest that I can be tempted to keep longer there if the DJ has nice selections. My favourite music is original reggae and salsa music.
