If you have attended the KigaliUp music festival over the years, there is always one solid performer, Joey Blake. His performances are always filled with energy and good vibes— you can’t dislike him. A lecturer of music at the Boston-based Berklee College of Music, Blake first came to Rwanda with a group of musicians known as ‘Musicians without Borders’, which is when he met Jacques ‘Mighty Popo’ Muligande, the organiser of KigaliUp.
