Since this year began, artistes, producers and deejays have been churning out hits and many can tell that it is already a good year for Rwanda’s music industry.

From Kivumbi King’s collabo with Burundi’s finest Kirikou, to Alyn Sano’s ‘Boo and Bae’, we highlight some new tracks that are making things happen in Rwanda.

Yalampaye - Kivumbi King ft Kirikou Akili

Slipping out of car windows and overflowing from pubs, Kivumbi King’s Yalampaye is more than a track, it is influencing style and dance and making an impact on Rwanda’s music industry, and is among tracks that are on repeat in different clubs of Rwanda.

Yalampaye features Burundi’s youngster Kirikou and is produced in the new wave of Afro dancehall. It has over 200, 000 views within less than two weeks.
