THE German envoy to Rwanda Peter Fahrenholtz has said his country will continue collaborating with Rwanda to promote the music and film industry in the country. Speaking on Friday during Masaa concert held in Kigali Serena hotel, the diplomat observed that Rwanda has vibrant cultural expressions and German has been sending experts to help promote the industry."We are going to have a film festival at the beginning of next year sponsored by German government in collaboration with Goethe-Institute, and I promise you that we will have something special,” he said.He also encouraged local musicians to visit Germany and expose themselves to international stage since Rwanda music is beautiful and appeals to different cultures. "Music is universal and has global value. We have different workshops in Germany for both amateur and professional musicians and I would encourage Rwandan musicians to also attend such workshops if they want to improve on their music and expose themselves.”The envoy noted that music is a multicultural form of entertainment and expression that brings people of diverse background together and thus it should be harnessed if the counties want to achieve unity.It was an eclectic evening as the Masaa group performed. Marcus behind the trumpet, the drummer Demian and pianist Clemens wowed hundreds of people that thronged Serena hotel with contemporary jazz, blues and pop music.  Rwanda’s own Inshongore group also electrified the audience with their traditional music. The height of the concert saw the two groups coming together and sharing the stage much to the delight of the audience.It was a family affair as both the young and the old, and people from different backgrounds came to enjoy both traditional and modern songs performed by the two groups. The first to grace the stage was the Masaa group that sang some soul stirring music in different languages such as Happiness in Marriage, Beirut, and Rima.They were followed after performing six songs by the Inshongore group and later the two joined together to share the stage.Theobald Rwego, who is also a musician, said he had attended the concert because he loves music. "It’s interesting to see the group singing a fusion of jazz, blues and traditional music with modern musical instruments.
