Speaking about the upcoming show, Ruti told The New Times that it will be a night of celebrating the music that originates in Rwanda, as well as his new album that blends different styles of music including traditional.

"Intore Cyane will be an experience that any music lover wouldn’t wish to miss. We will dance, sing, chat, and do everything that our grandparents used to do in ‘igitaramo’, a cultural gathering. Let’s all come early and enjoy music that’s made in Rwanda,” Ruti noted.

The renowned artiste further noted that he will sing different songs that appeared on his first album as well as other hits he produced in the past including ‘Igikobwa’, ‘Cyane’, ‘Rasana’, and many others.
