The ‘Igikobwa’ hit maker performed all 10-tracks on the album dedicated to his mom, which is his biggest project since he ventured into music in 2012.

As promised earlier in an interview with The New Times, Ruti created an environment through his live performance that helped revellers learn and understand more about ‘Gakondo’ music, as well as getting insights to the rich history of ancient Rwanda.

"This kind of music is ours. Let’s protect it at all costs,” Ruti said during the concert, urging Rwandan music lovers to love and put Gakondo music first.

From ‘Rwagasabo’, to ‘Ibihame’, ‘Cunda’, ‘Igikobwa’, ‘Cyane’ and many others, Ruti Joel delivered the best in his live performance and left revellers wanting more.
