South African DJ and producer, DJ Maphorisa, who is among the pioneers of the Amapiano genre has been announced as the main headliner of the next edition of Intore Sundays slated for November 6.

Bruce Intore, founder of Intore Ent, confirmed the concert on Wednesday, October 26, in a statement he released on all social media platforms.

The monthly music event which attracts disc jockeys from different areas of the world had been postponed for three months over the issue of noise pollution that caused cancellation of several outdoor events in the past, organisers said.

"We were facing an issue with outdoor spaces that cause noise pollution which can lead to cancellation of our events. We are still trying to come up with a better solution. This edition was worth waiting for. It’s going down!” Bruce told The New Times.

Intore also added that the reason he targets South African deejays is how their sound is getting international and raving festivals around the world.

"Amapiano is the new trend and Maphorisa is one of the DJs and producers who introduced it to the world. He is a good musician and many Rwandans will love to party with him,” he added.

Intore Sundays is one of the most popular events, with Kigali’s middle class and expatriate community embracing it in equal measure.

The event which attracts many youth and used for both entertainment and networking platforms will also see some dopest DJs in town such as Toxxyk, Tyga, Marnaud and others spin the decks.

Tickets to the show are already available at Rwf20, 000 per person and Rwf 300, 000 per section of six. The event will take place at Mundi Center (Rwandex) and revelers will be allowed to bring food and beverages of their own choice.
