Speaking to The New Times, Gloria Gatera, one of the organisers of the event, said that inviting DJ Kii to Rwanda was in line with making Kigali the entertainment and sports hub of Africa, attracting big musicians, both locally and internationally. Another thing, Gatera said, DJ Kii's performance in Kigali should inspire young talented female deejays to join the male-dominated industry and shine. This is a female-supportive event aimed at encouraging more young girls to join the entertainment industry, which is currently on the rise. We look forward to hosting more big artistes including Nigerians on the rooftop. This is just the beginning,” she said. For Gatera, Kigali is Africa's entertainment hub, and such events are a necessity to cater for the hundreds of tourists who visit Rwanda every month. We are committed to hosting more such events at Crystal as a contribution to Rwanda's burgeoning music industry. The aim is to bring vibes and good music to everyone.
