The concert attracted both young and old gospel music fans. Judo Kanobano, the Managing Director of Positive Production and Moriah Entertainment, the organisers of the concert said that they had no particular targeted audience when they organised the concert. He said, “We were targeting everyone who loves music both the Christians and non-Christians. That is because Gaby wants to establish herself as a professional musician.” As one of the best vocalist and most popular gospel artiste in the country, Kanobano was not surprised that the concert attracted more people than they expected.

The show ended at midnight with Kamanzi thanking her fans for coming for her first concert and supporting her.The launch of the album featured a very strong line-up of praise and worship, performances by Moriah band, Aimé Uwimana, Marlene and famous Burundian gospel musicians Apollinaire Habonimana and Fortran.The album was also for sale at the event.
