What many had speculated about was confirmed when he openly declared his love for her. He thanked Marina for accepting and supporting him throughout their journey together, saying he was grateful to have found a partner who shares both his life and his passion for music. The crowd erupted in cheers as Marina, visibly surprised, accepted the proposal. “We spent the whole day together and I kept wondering when he planned all this. I am very surprised, excited and nervous. I can’t believe this just happened,” she told The New Times. Following the emotional moment, the newly engaged couple returned to the stage to perform some of their collaborations, including Urugo Ruhire remix featuring Massamba Intore. Marina later revealed that, during rehearsals, she had practiced the song without knowing she would end up performing it in celebration of her own engagement. The proposal came shortly after Yvan announced that he had permanently returned to Rwanda from Belgium to focus on his music career at home. The concert also featured performances from Massamba Intore, Kidum Kibido and Jules Sentore, all of whom appear on the album. The Ben and Bruce Melodie, who also contributed to the project, were absent as they are already Kampala where they have Valentine’s Day shows to headline.
