During the presidential campaigns, several artistes graced the campaign rallies and made a significant impact as they entertained people.

Several artistes like Kitoko, composed campaign songs while Bruce Melody released a victory song Ntidukina which he will be performing at the free concert.

Bruno Rangira, the media and communications officer at City of Kigali, said that the concert will thrill Rwandans, and is a way to celebrate having completed a successful election period.

"Rwandans were very active in the campaign and election process and therefore deserve to jubilate at the inauguration of their chosen President,” he said.
