Harrison Records, a Kigali-based record label, has joined forces with acclaimed vocalist Niyo Bosco and featured him in their brand new gospel song 'Ubu Ndera.' The project marks the artiste’s transition to gospel music after close to four years doing secular sounds.
The partnership between Harrison Records and Niyo Bosco began in 2023 through a music-related project. What started as a professional connection quickly evolved into a deeper spiritual bond, as both parties discovered their shared commitment to spreading the message of God through music.

The label was particularly drawn to Bosco&039;s exceptional vocal talents and skillful songwriting abilities and hence approached his to work on a joint music project which came into reality on Friday, November 15, the day they dropped ‘Ubu Ndera.’ It also features Harisson Records member artistes Diane Ella, Abid Cruz, Sutcliffe.
"We continued to share what God had put in our hearts, our conversations centered around faith, salvation, and the teachings of the Holy Scriptures. This natural alignment led to our collaboration on 'Ubu Ndera',” the record label said in a press statement.
'Ubu Ndera' carries a powerful message of salvation and divine grace. The song emphasizes that redemption is God's work from beginning to end, rather than a result of human effort. It speaks to Christ's sacrifice on the cross as the ultimate act of propitiation, offering eternal forgiveness and sanctification before God.
The track specifically addresses three audiences; those unfamiliar with the gospel message, individuals burdened by sin and seeking relief and believers who need reinforcement in their faith journey.
The song audio was produced by Real Beat while Fayzo Pro shot and directed the video.
According to Harrison Records spokesperson, Doreen Mahoro,"Ubu Ndera” serves as an invitation to those hearing about Jesus Christ, encouraging them to approach with sincere hearts and unwavering faith. It reminds listeners that God's grace brings salvation to all people, teaching them to reject worldly desires, live with self-control and godliness, await the blessed hope of Christ's return.
Harrison Records and Niyo Bosco have created this work as a celebration of God's children and an invitation to those who might choose to accept Christ's redemption.
