After nine years of doing Gospel music in Rwanda, Christophe Ndayishimiye is gearing up for his worship concert titled 'Aca Inzira' on February 18, at the New Life Bible Church in Kicukiro.

The Burundian singer is renowned for his worship music in both countries. His musical journey began at a church in Burundi, where he initially served as a drummer and discovered his singing talent through the guidance of Appollinaire Habonimana, who started coaching him during Sunday school classes.

Reflecting on his musical evolution, Ndayishimiye recalled discovering his talent in 2014, and hosting his first concert that same year, despite the challenges of limited preparation time and insufficient song repertoire.

Moving to Rwanda in 2015, Ndayishimiye considers the country his home.

His debut song, 'Aca Inzira,' was released in 2018, followed by a collaboration 'Uri Uwera', with Prosper Nkomezi.

The upcoming 'Aca Inzira Live' concert will feature collaborations with well-known Rwandan solo gospel artists such as Christian Irimbere, Bosco Nshuti, and Prosper Nkomezi.

Ndayishimiye emphasized that the choice of these artistes is grounded in their shared values of friendship, common faith, and a history of musical collaboration.

Ticket prices are set at Rwf5, 000 for regular seats and Rwf10, 000 for VIP. Doors open at 5 pm.
