Emmile Munyaburanga, one of the attendees, described the event as a “powerful” concert. “I found very many people stranded at the gate and we were told that the hall was packed and we couldn’t get where to sit or stand—but they finally let us in after pleading with the ushers,” Munyaburanga said. Moses Kayijuka, who was in charge of the DVD recording and communication, told The New Times, that the concert aimed at bringing together the fans and Ambassadors of Christ. “We’ve been so busy recording the songs for our 12th DVD, and we did most of the shootings out of the country. We decided to organise this concert to show our fans what had kept us busy.” He added that the theme for the concert was a powerful message to people. The venue was full that some revelers had to watch the performances from outside. “Long ago a parent would treat another child like their own but things are different today. We therefore wanted to deliver the message reminding people that a child is a gift from God,” he said. The choir’s latest DVD comprises 12 singles, all in Kinyarwanda apart from one song in Kinyankore.
