It was crazy inside the gigantic Kigali Arena, as Nigerian Afro star Rema brought down good vibes at the all-star game that took place on November 20. Rema’s performance will go down as one of the best attended and hyped music shows Kigali has seen since the reopening of concerts, and by far the most energetic live stage that Kigali has ever seen since the outbreak of covid-19. Indeed, it is safe to say that Rema’s first performance in Rwanda was a success. Born Divine Ikubor, Rema stepped on the stage at 9:30 pm and performed most of his hit songs, including Dumebi, Woman, Beamer, Soundgasm to name a few. He performed with a fast-rising Rwandan band dubbed The Target, together with one of the best producers in Africa London who was his main disk jockey. Thousands of music lovers went crazy when Rema brought Sharon Higa, a top dancer in Kigali, to the stage, and had a smooth ‘Soundgasm’ dance performance with her. The 21-year-old also performed ‘Bounce’, a song that made almost every woman at the venue bounce and dance. “Thank you so much Rwanda for the energy,” Rema said to the revelers. It was a night to remember as thousands of music lovers partied and danced not only to Rema, but also great performances from Mike Kayihura, Kivumbi King, Social Mulla, The Dream Team DJs, Bull Dog and others. “Rema has delivered as he promised. This was one of my best nights in Kigali. From his dressing code to the energy and vibes, he really made Kigali arena shake,” said Anick Muhoza, an excited fan. The ‘Corny’ star performed almost for almost an hour and a half and by the time the show ended, the crowd was still yearning for more. The singer apologised to everyone who couldn’t attend the show because tickets were sold out, and promised to come back soon. “I’m gonna make it up to you guys I promise. Love you and stay raving,” Rema said.
