Music star Tresor set to rock at Blankets & Wine

South Africa based multi award winning artiste Tresor Riziki is set to headline Blankets and Wine, in Kigali. The pop star arrived on Friday morning ahead of the show. The festival will be held tomorrow at Golf Club Nyarutarama, and will feature performances from Lillian Mbabazi, Bruce Melodie, Mike Kayihura, Kiki, Rachel and Dodo. The talented musician, who has roots in Goma, in eastern DR Cong, said he is excited to perform in Rwanda. “I have been here quite a number of times in the past. I grew up in Congo and spent some time in this country with my parents. Therefore, it is great to be here again. In fact, I recorded my first music demos here in Kigali,” he told journalists upon his arrival at Kigali International Airport. “We are bringing the crazy sound that we fuse from throughout Africa and this is what Rwandans should look forward to,” he added. The singer had previously announced on his Instagram that he will be joined by his family who will travel to watch him performing live, and he described this as an “epic” moment. Fans can expect to hear Tresor perform his smash singles like Never Let Me Go, Remedy, Beyond Redemption, Evergreen, and more. He has performed in several countries including Italy and Dubai in United Arab Emirates (UAE). The singer is currently signed to Sony Music Entertainment Africa, and in 2015 he released his debut album VII. Tickets for Blankets and Wine are on sale at Kigali Heights and Simba Supermarket branches.
