Quotes

  • I dream of playing wherever I am asked. Where the public calls for me. The question would be why the promoters took so long to invite me? But as they say everything is won in teams.
  • It is a feeling of joy and pride. I didn't know that my music was appreciated in this part of Africa. Rwandans have contributed to the admiration of Africa having come from far. We'll be by their side to celebrate with them.
  • To be honest I didn't know the concept but I admit that when my manager told me about it I said ‘okay’ because I trust him. And in addition I discovered professional promoters which is to be congratulated. The idea is to play old glories and living legends of African music according to my information.
