Since the outbreak of covid-19 pandemic, artistes and other players in the music industry have been using music podcasts to introduce homemade sounds to masses easily.

However, it hasn’t been until late that the Rwandan music culture has truly grabbed the reins of this stream of communication. With the ever so changing internet channeling various forms of media, the local industry is constantly changing and growing along.
